The bike trail is already clear from last night’s snow, and no-one shoveled or plowed it. It’s a wet one because it even sticks on branches of trees with no leaves. Cold snows are different. Ice storms are another animal altogether.
It’s supposed to be in the 60′s next week after it gets colder and another snowstorm comes in tomorrow. Dear God, Please turn off the snow, keep it for the skiers until April 12 then let us Texans have Spring, please. Thank you.
Hates it here
As you can see from above, Zoe is very frightened here and follows me around everywhere. I have not left her alone yet, she goes with me to the drycleaner, mailbox, grocery et al.
I didn’t get good photos this morning because of the snow but apparently we look over the 2002 Olympic ski jumping, luge (and other events) site, The Canyons, front side of Park City, and the bald mountain that is Deer Valley. Right now we can’t see a thing because of the snow.
Sorry, I couldn’t nix a 2nd pix of Zoe and don’t know the others until I see them published. Apparently we WordPress freebies only get one crack at a preview.
I’ve been unpacking boxes and have a few more to do so we can have a first semi-normal weekend in weeks. Financing our lives and a significant move without a paycheck for three months has taken a toll on both of us financially, emotionally and physically. Luckily the stock market is inching up, even though unemployment is extraordinarily high.
I’ve been looking for work around here but there are no prospects I’ve found so far. We’re about to be in the off-season, ski-wise so the young, fit kids will leave town and few will remain. Jobs and people.
What I’ve learned so far is that a lot of people have given up serious careers to do menial jobs up here just so they can ski. A lot of other people fly in and have huge ski-in, ski-out estates and they’re building more even in this economy. Others with second homes here are renting and selling off properties they can no longer afford.
We can walk to a movie theatre and shops. The preserve is right out back and I love looking at the ducks. I may go to their museum next week. I did meet an interesting young man with a 2/2 condo downtown who is thinking of going the “corporate housing” route and I think he’s a nice guy so will help him learn from our expertise living in Scotland, London, Orem and here.
Next thing you know I’ll be teaching cooking classes! Cheers! Dee
