It’s Back…

Filed Under Fall 

The snow that is, we had our first snowfall on Tuesday and received about two inches.  Thursday was the next storm that can through but it was well south of us and of Spokane.  This winter storming warning came out yesterday saying snow would start late this evening and continue through late in the day on Monday.  Not exactly promising news.  It is 3:00 PM and it has all ready began snowing. smile_confused

I bought snow tires for my car in November, I decided to go with what they call siped tires rather that the traditional studded tire.  Studded tires are hard on the road, but you really need something more than an all weather tire outer in the reaches of Spokane County.  They do a pretty good job of keeping the highways cleaned but once you get to the city only major roads are cleaned.  They are no where as good in this area of cleaning the snow off the roads as they would be say in Chicago.  I don’t think that Spokane County has the financial strength to handle the massive movement of snow.  In downtown Spokane they pile the snow in the middle of the road making the streets one lane in each way.  And Deer Park does not really plow the roads at all.  Lucky for us the county cleans our gravel road and the main road into to town.  They actually are pretty good about that.  So we will have a White Christmas.

Crush, the kitty, has been good about coming in at night.  Why should I be surprised that the cat is not stupid and has enough sense to come in from the cold.  I still worry about him getting to far from home and getting caught by a coyote I suppose that is me being stupid not the cat.
