Approaching storm & 3 day holiday weekend

[Wrightwood]

With the approaching storm and the 3 day holiday weekend, Mountain High Resort and Big Pines is expecting a high volume of traffic and guests starting on 1-13-07 and continuing through 1-15-07. The projected storm is very cold and will allow almost any snow that does fall to stay around for quite some time.

   Low teperatures at night wil be Thu-22*, Fri -12*, Sat 12*, & Sun 19*.
 
   That should make for some icy side streets. Hope the plows lower their blades and get that bottom 1" off the streets or it will freeze up and stick around.

I wish I could just hibernate through winter....

[Stitches]

Nah!   I love this weather.   I hibernate during summer and stay inside in the a/c.   

Everyone go run your town errands tomorrow as the snowplayers are winding up.    Go to the post office, the hardware store, the gas station, make sure you have supplies so you don't have to go to Jensen's.    Rent a movie and return it early so you don't have to share the parking lot with the McGrath's people.

Circle the wagons folks.   Here they come.      (Actually, I enjoy watching their antics from afar, i.e. webcam).

I'm with you, gypsywolf!  Just wake me up when the daffodils start blooming, and we can go for walks without having to wear 15 layers....... 

[gypsywolf]

My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!!

[KWBoy]

15 layers  I hardly ever wear long pants

I agree!

[Stitches]

K's to my cool weather friends FunkyGorilla and Rdnckgrl.   Oops, Rdnckgrl will have to wait until tomorrow because I already gave her a k for making me laugh on the School Shooting thread.    Funky, I wear shorts at home and when I take short walks.   My legs don't like to be confined and I haven't found it cold enough to require anything more than my shorts.

Darn it.   I forgot to get more t.p.    Would hate to have to run to the store for that this weekend.   

Is the storm stalled out?   I thought it was supposed to start in the evening and the skies are clear.

I thought I was the only one like that

It looks like the earliest we will see anything is probably around midnight - 2 am .

Welcome to the club......I don't even OWN a pair of pants.
My freinds at work think I'm crazy

   I was expecting a reprimand from Funky Gorilla for screwing up the Weather. I got off easy.
 
     The Temperatures didn't go below zero, my typo changing formats in the middle.... It was my birthday and I was bought a few drinks also.....although I took a laser thermometor for engines and took a wind chill reading of -04* with about a 15mph wind last night.Brrrrr.

I love this cold weather!!  Took the dogs for a walk and it was 19 and it was glorious!!!

[Stitches]

I felt the same thing when I walked to my mother in law's this morning at 6:30 this morning and stayed outside shoveling her walkway.    It is a glorious day and makes me glad to be alive.

If today's visitors are indicative of the people coming this weekend we are in for a pleasant surprise.    No one speeding through town or honking at you for trying to make a left and holding up traffic.   Even the people at the rental shops were quiet and orderly.

I've got my supplies and will hunker down to some fun family time.  Angelwolf, these cold days are the times I wish I had warm soft animals to snuggle.   I may have to borrow one.

Happy B-day wwpt!  And Stitches, I am jealous you have A/C in your home.

Back to topic.... I am glad mthigh has to boast they are expecting a big crowd, when in all actuality it's the snow players that see the white mountain caps and come up and clog the roads. 

Sorry mthigh, you can't take all the credit for the busy weekend in Wrightwood.

  Thanks...I just hate all those birthday drinks. Next time I'm not telling anyone.
 
   It was a crisp, chilly beautiful morning up here today. Even the snow was light and fluffy....I didn't even have to shovel it - I swept it off the deck with a broom. A dry, light powder.
 
   I'll bet those people up at the ski slope are having a glorious, great riding day.  And I bet the view from on top of the high speed chair lift is fantastic. It was so clear this morning.
