Snow Day!

For the first time since 1997, school is out for a snow day.  In some parts of the US, four or five inches of snow is enough to cancel school; here it takes feet.  This storm rolled in two days ago, when I was hiking high above the valley.  The snow swept down from the north

Two days later, school was called off and the turkeys are hiding out in the well of the neighbor’s pine tree.

He cleared snow for three hours.
