"Play it again, Sam." Humphrey Bogart

Last night before going to bed about 9:00 p.m. Gloria called me to the front door and what you see below is what we saw last night.

Some of those snow flakes, as you can see, were as big as a half dollar.


It came fast and furious, but it didn't last too long. However, it interrupted
our satellite reception and we had to turn the TV off at about 9:05 p.m. We
woke up to about two inches of new heavy and wet snow this morning. It was
very pretty.

There wasn't any snow around the fire hydrant on the right before
the snow storm last night. Gloria was up early this morning with
our snow shovel clearing off the driveway and the sidewalk when a
neighbor who lives up the street from us stopped and gave her a
hand after she was about half way through with the driveway.

The new snow on the top of the mailbox shows how much snow was
still left at about 12:30 p.m. this afternoon after the sun had come out
and the temperature had arisen to over 32 degrees and had melted
some but not all of it.

This shows how much snow is still on our front lawn. Granted, there's
mounds of it around the edges of the driveway and sidewalks, but the
middle of the lawn area still has a considerable amount of snow still left.
It will probably be mid to late March before it all gets melted, unless it
gets very warm in the meantime. That would probably produce some
flooding in some of the streams and rivers of water that run off in the
mountains. That happened in 1983, three years after we moved here
to Price. In Salt Lake City, flood waters from the early runoff due to
higher than usual temperatures in the early spring caused a river of water
to run down out of City Creek Canyon onto State Street in Downtown Salt
Lake that required sandbags to be placed on the sides of the street so that
flood water could be channeled through the city and into the Jordan River.

Well, that's about it for this post. It's getting late and we need to be getting to bed. We have the early morning schedule for church this year so we need to be ready to leave the house about 8:45 a.m. So, we'll sign off for now. Good Night.
