Well, we are getting more snow. As I said previously, this is an unusual occurance. Before last year, it had been perhaps twenty years since there was snow here. Especially along the West coast, where the Gulf stream moderates the temperature. One resident of the Carna Nursing Home told me that the last big snow was in 1948. Sure puts us in the Christmas spirit. We even got a little tree up, with a lot of home made ornaments.
Because of the snow, the kids had their school cancelled, another rare happening. There was no notice, the bus just didn't show up. The kids enjoyed frollicing in the snow. There are no sleds to be had. It was fun, from our hillside vantage point, to see the snow showers blowing in, then clearing to a blue sky, intermittantly all day. The kids did get a little cabin fever, as a couple of the photos show.There is no road maintance, so driving is a bit of a challange. Weather can be a big topic here (like Seattle), so we were well aware this storm was on the way. The Irish radios do good public service (except no school closure notification), and incidentally are of great quality, music and talk wise.
The last photo shows a farmer and his 2 dogs hustling his cattle down the main road, something you have to be on the alert for.
