We got a bit more snow overnight, so I grabbed my brand-new snow shovel and cleaned off the driveway. There was about 2 inches of very fluffy/dry snow, so it wasn’t too hard to clear off my giant driveway (you can get five cars parked side-by-side).

And it looks like our street is very low on the snowplow priority list. In fact, probably not even on the list. There are only six houses on our street, and two are empty. Not very slippery at the moment. Perhaps when there is more snow we’ll get a snowplow pass.

Went to “Wally World” today to grab a fiber-filled nylon jacket (they look sort of puffy). They were only $7.00, so couldn’t pass up that deal. Also grabbed a knit hat and a pair of gloves. During today’s snow-shoveling, I just had a baseball cap, and my ears and cheeks got a bit cold. When I came in, my ears and cheeks were cold. I spent a few minutes in a “Oh, No!” position (hands over cheeks and ears) to help warm them up.

More snow predicted for tonight, but the big part of the storm is in the southern part of Utah. It was a cold one; there was snow in Sacramento overnight, with a couple of inches in Auburn (elev about 1100ft). Much excitement in the old hometown. Around here, we may get another inch or two by tomorrow night, then another storm this weekend.

So far, this California transplant into Utah is still liking the snow. It is sort of pretty outside. And since I don’t have to go anywhere if I don’t want, I can stay inside and look at it from a warm house.
