2025 about to end

During the early morning of Saturday there was an inch of snow and a bunch of wind. The result was that things I didn’t expect to be snowed on where covered. The rectangle is a rug with one corner flipped up. I frequently find it out by the fence seen in the distance. The snow must have held it down.
Front, back, and sides of the house and sheds all got a similar treatment. The snow was light and fluffy and so was easily broomed off. I got that done before it warmed up and then the small amount remaining melted and evaporated.

I drove over to the Winery folks (Phyllis & Cameron) for lunch on Friday. I hadn’t seen them since they returned from France. I did the first few miles in four-wheel drive because of slush. About half-way to Kittitas I stopped and shifted out of 4X. The truck is the old fashioned type with rear wheel drive, a 4X High, and a 4X Low. The shifts can be done from inside the cab. Really old technology required one to turn “hubs” on the front wheels. These have mostly been replaced by auto-hubs. I sometimes use the 4X Low when pulling a log or several from the wood lot up to the shed.

The low temp 6AM Sunday morning is expected to be about 20°F. Nothing lower is forecast for the next two weeks.
