! When I left here it was only sort of changing to Fall, what is this- a one week Fall and sort of like the one week spring we had this year. So here I sit back home all cold and with snow falling. Just had to go out and shut off my sprinkler system before it freezes! The news from Reno said it was 15 degrees below what it should be right now! I was planning a quick stop here then out to Nevada to enjoy the Fall and it looks like now I may have to force myself to watch the World Series here instead of out there while also watching the Fall colors. No climate change here! Will try to post some photos of my short trip, is it warm anywhere?
! Went from the above ave. low 70's and high 60's to snow, cold winds and below ave. temps. It's supposed to hit 14 degrees tonight-been out checking the outside water pipes! Everyone has been pulling in the deck furniture, putting away the hoses and those usual signs of winterizing the place. Cold miserable morning, with a very cold wind, had to shovel off the sidewalk and clean off the snow from the windshield-several inches of snow, but hope there is allot more in high country! Sure am glad didn't go up to the lake and take that nice fall camping trip I had planned too, not yet quite ready to put up the arctic blanket in the camper. If we didn't need the snow so bad here, i'd wish for summer. Seems like the older I get the more I don't like the cold, but I'm not ready to move to Arizona yet-just need to slowly gear up for winter and nor just jump in. Need to go to the post office-maybe I'll wait, it's supposed to warm up(?) again in a few days-ain't retirement grand!
Snow will stay to the north though. That is not really good news because we need the moisture. We are in a fairly serious drought situation and the authorities in some locations are talking about the need to ration water by spring if we don't get some good moisture yet this fall. Hopefully we will get some rain out of this system if not snow.
Also wondering about Hwy 50 across Nevada- will it get some good snow out of this system or it going north of there?
