Snow, What?

One of the advantages of fulltiming is you don't have to wear a watch. Heck, most of the time, we don't even need to know what day it is. But, today was one of those days that had us checking the calendar...just to make sure what month it is.

The answer, of course, is June. But, by the looks of things around here, it could easily be January. Overnight temperatures dipped into the low 30s, again. The morning brought low, gray clouds, wind and rain. It was the perfect day to sleep in. So, one of us did. While Mother Nature served up the second or third cold, wet day in a row, we kept ourselves occupied with inside stuff. We watched for a break in the weather in hopes that we could get out for a walk and stretch a bit.

It was not to be.

By midday, a healthy dose of cabin fever began to set in. The only thing missing was snow. As if on cue, the pelting rain changed to icy drops then to snow. Combined with the wind, we were witnessing something close to a blizzard.

Say what?

I checked the calendar once more. Sure enough, it is June. And, we are still here in the northern hemisphere where this isn't suppose to happen.

With snowflakes falling, we kept the fireplace going. I baked a batch of cookies and resisted the temptation to break out the Christmas carols.

During our first year as fulltimers we have traveled many miles and seen some amazing sights. But, the most notable aspect of our rookie year has been the weather. It's been wacky!

Things could be worse. It could be hot and humid, as it is across much of the country. Or, we could be facing severe storms like those crossing the northern plains this evening. All things considered, snow in June isn't so bad.

Tomorrow's forecast calls for sunshine and temps in the mid-60s. That sounds like perfect weather for a little Friday road trip and some camera shopping.

Tomorrow is Friday. Right?
