We finally got the snow. Here in Tennessee we don't get a lot of snow so it is a treat to wake up in the morning and peer out the door to the freshly fallen snow. The snow will not stay for long. It appears for a brief moment in time and then the tempature climbs high enough to melt it away pretty quickly.
The kids have been enjoying the snow and have found an old plastic sled in the barn that they share with one another for those bone chilling rides down the hills. It is such joy to see their rosey red faces complete with ear-to-ear smiles as they come into the house to warm up for a minute and then head back out for some more fun.
The camp is located in a valley (thus "Valley View") so it is always a challenge, during snow fall, to get off of the property. The exit of the camp is a wicked upward slope so getting onto the road presents its own adventure. Then there is the climb, on the road itself, out of the valley. Tennessee is NOT prepared to clear the roads when the snow falls. They try to stay ahead of the snowfall and spray brine on the roadways which allows for quicker melting. If the weather forcast is incorrect...welll...you get snow-packed roads...period. But...it is Tennessee and like I said the snow doesn't stay around long.
I am starting to get cabin fever already. Give me the warm weather and bring on the campers!
