No More Waiting for White Winter Weather

If you live in the west coast region of the country, one thing is for sure ... we need rain AND we need a lot of snow pack!  To date this year, we have been experiencing one of the driest winters on record, and we also had some of the coldest weather in December. 

Finally, we were blessed with a wonderful wet system that dropped snow on the Sierras (maybe 8-12 inches) and in the valleys below (4-7 inches).  Yes, it's cold, but who the heck cares?  We NEED it desperately!  Not only that, but the snow brings with it some beautiful photo opportunities like these below taken in the Comstock Country RV Resort in Carson City where we are currently hunkered down.

Gary took this photo with his phone earlier in the morning before it started to warm up. 

The rest of the photos I took a little later in the morning when the temperature increased just enough to start slightly melting the snow.

 

I love the way the snow is slightly sliding off the top of this light and hanging off the edge. 

 

Here's Sadie who came out with me to help me take the photos.

 

 

What a difference a day makes!  This was a wet, heavy snow (as you can tell from the clumping in the photos above) which we could knew that evening while it was snowing because we kept hearing "thump, thump" on the roof of the RV all night which was the snow clumps falling from the trees!  The tree limbs were hanging over the bedroom roof (sadly!).  But, as I started off to say, what a difference a day makes.  One day later and look at the trees and ground now ...

 

1 Peter 1:24-25

"ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS,
AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS.
THE GRASS WITHERS,
AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF, 

 BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER."

And this is the word which was preached to you.
