Saturday evening about supper time snow began at the house. Before dawn there was \"\"an inch, and then it started to melt. By Noon most was gone. A ski area, Crystal Mountain at 6,850 feet elevation (45 miles west of me) has several cameras and I snagged an image shown here. Their other cameras show mostly fog.
\nAt the EBRG airport there was a cold mist registering as a trace of snow. It didn’t stick and that was the situation just a couple miles south of me. A few miles up in the hills, there is about 3 inches. More, a few inches, is expected here Tuesday evening. I’m not planning to go anywhere, so it doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n

For an hour or so the turkeys have been searching under the Ponderosa Pines for, I guess, pine seeds. I’ve had to fence places where I put seeds for birds or the deer and the turkeys would get most of the sunflower seeds. I don’t know if they would get the tiniest seeds.

\nThe big local news this week suggests there is a mental health problem in the region. One Corey Burke hacked and killed her father because he wouldn’t turn off the lights. This had something to do with the election. A Yakima driver led police on a 70 mile chase into the Ellensburg area on I-90. Not related to the election. It reads like something from a TV “cops” show. A Cle Elum woman pointed a gun at folks she knows, then fled to EBRG and behaved strangely in a downtown street. No harm done, except she scared the folks in both places. Topping these strange stories is the capture of “Notorious P.I.G.” in Tacoma.

I realized I was missing all these interesting stories,\"\"so with a half-price subscription, I am back to getting a paper copy of the EBRG Daily Record. This, also, gives me paper to start a fire in the wood-burning stove, when needed. <\/p>\n

I cut a dozen small trees, including several that have been dead for three or four years. The bark is falling off. Being tall and thin, I can now just cut to length for the stove. No need to split them. I guess there are too many trees close together that causes the tall, thin, and nearly non-branching growth form. Side limbs are not more than an inch thick.<\/p>\n

I’m now headed out to cut those up. I’ve an hour or so of good light before the sun sets over Crystal Mountain and the Crest of the Cascades.<\/p>\n
