Still More Spring Snow
Apr. 18th, 2023 08:32 amThis morning, while turning the kettle on for my morning coffee, I peered outside and realized that it had snowed overnight.
( Two Days Apart )
The snow rapidly started melting after sunrise, and never did stick on the paved surfaces. I did sweep the 1-2 cm accumulation from the porch because the porch, having a cold air space under it, doesn't melt so quickly.
So far, the electric heaters in the house are keeping things warm enough, but I do still have a lot of wood, so if it gets any colder, I'll have to restart the fire.
If this was Thursday (when we leave for the Bay Area and Costume-Con 39), I'd be worried, as there are chain controls up over Donner Summit, but the current weather forecast predicts relatively clear weather. I expect to see a whole lot of snow accumulation up top, though.
