We usually don’t get much snow here in the irrigated desert valleys of Southwest Idaho. Some years we may not even see snow except for a few flakes that melt or blow away. Even in the mountains 50 to 100 miles away it seems we never get enough snow.
Not this year! Snow is everywhere. An inch or two at a time, but even here in the valley, snow covers everything. School administrators didn’t know whether to open the schools or not after getting caught Tuesday with high winds and heavy snow right after the kids arrived at school. Now, with higher temperatures and melting snow, we have more school closures, and the kids are getting the last laugh.
I’d show you a picture of the beautiful 5-6 inches of snow, but I broke my camera yesterday. I was in an awkward position talking on the phone and looking things up on the computer and writing in my notebook, and everything—telephone, camera, notebook, and a few other tools—crash-landed on the floor. My poor camera was stalled. Technically “open” but an error message said the lens was malfunctioning. I recharged the battery. Still jammed on “open” and still not working. Probably wearing down the battery.
This was my Nikon digital camera, and I miss it already. I spend $300 for it and enjoyed every minute. I’ll replace it as soon as I can, but meanwhile, no photos to illustrate my comments.
