This snowy scene is what greeted me early this morning. I was beginning to feel left out of "winter." I know there's a big snow storm there in Omaha. Well, if you're at my location in California, the snow has melted after a few hours. It was all gone by 3 this afternoon. I have more photos on my camera (this was taken with my cell phone), but those photos are going to take a while to access. My desktop computer, where we do all of the photo work, is down with a major virus, don'tcha know (the result of letting one of the kids in the vicinity of said computer - if you can avoid this, this allowing of one's children - regardless of age - in a 50-foot radius of your computer, please do so).
Of course, I would have preferred the snow come at another time. Bethany and her youth group from church are currently driving to Lake Tahoe for their winter retreat. This snow is just the beginning of a series of storms marching through California for the next several days. Unfortunately, most of their driving will take place in the MOUNTAINS, for crying out loud. I've gotten hundreds of warnings about this storm system for days (it's true - I have a subscription to the California warning system). WHY would someone let their child be a part of this ridiculousness?! you might ask. Well, I don't know. I seem to be the only sane person around here aware of all the disastrous things that could go wrong. Nobody else has a problem with any of this. I mean, the bus driver did make sure to bring the chains. So. Calm, happy, "life is always wonderful" Tim didn't see why she should miss this trip, so! There she goes! And now, he gets to deal with me all weekend. Happy Valentine's Day to you, Baby! :)
UPDATE: I forgot to come back to add that Bethany arrived home safe and sound Monday morning. The trip that took 9 1/2 hours to travel 70 miles on Friday night, only took two hours Monday morning. It was still stormy, but it was more rainy than snowy, so....Let's not do that again!
