Winter is coming....

I have to admit-we have tried to ignore all the signs....

It has been getting colder- we were relieved when the heat was turned on at the house.

Everyone in the family has already picked out their favorite stocking cap, has worn it a couple of times and knows to keep it in their own locker.

The base started putting up the snow poles along all the streets last week...

And yet, we have had several beautiful autumn days lately and it seemed like we might get away with an extended fall.

But sadly, this morning, we saw it. There is snow on the mountains surrounding the base. Not a lot yet and not covering all the mountains, but it is still there. Folklore states that once you see it on the mountains, it won't be long till we start getting it here.

The whole base is kind of melancholy over it..... Winter is coming....

I'll keep you posted!

Love,

4Vs

Well, I simply can't wait until I get to see Mike pushing the Snow
Machine- it looks like he should be called Tom Sawyer for making it look like fun! I am so sorry you have to have such a long and extended winter. I will try to keep my mouth shut this winter and not whine because of the cold here! But, A LITTLE SNOW would be very nice-Pretty Too! Love-sj
