Ground Hog Day - Feb 2 - on the Klamath River

Snowing again..... No ham test today..... canceled due to weather! urgh.
The plan was - go to Yreka where SCARA (Siskiyou County Amateur Radio Association) was to have their monthly breakfast. The VECs were taking me off to the Forestry Service Building to give me my Tech exam. I was hoping to have my license before we leave for cruising season.... but now the plan is March 1. It can't possibly snow for a month. Can it?


It started snowing at 5am. It is now 9:30am and it looks like 2 inches already.... Forecast: Snow the rest of the week.

That's gonna wipe out a lot of Super Bowl parties tomorrow.

Can you see the snow piled up from the drive way cleaning? and how much has already gathered on the tree limbs....


No picnics at this table today.... also no ants.









When the snow builds up on the Satellite dish, one of us has to grab the broom and head down the hill.


George usually gets nominated, mainly cause my boots are the 4" style and his are higher.

We have had to do that already this am ..... before 10.

And yesterday the power was out from the day before..... no blogging and no Bingo at the hall, can't find those numbers in the dark.

So with our neighbor Karen's clam chowder, biscuits, banana cream pie, and our goulash, shredded cheese and brownies, we headed up the hill (with chains on) to the Haynes' ( we have gas stoves, they have electric - not so great in power outage time) and just as we were about to eat dinner, the power came back on.

It was a warm cozy night, and we still have power and heat and are running the "dehydrator" (actually a dehumidifier) to suck up the condensation that gathers on the walls and windows when it's warm in here.

So, are you trying to tell us that the ground hog didn't see his shadow?

These really are great photo's. Maybe snow would be a great subject to paint.
