6:55 am - Saturday - October 14th - Ririe, ID - 31º F, humidity 80%, wind 7 mph out of the northwest.......there is NO wind whatsoever, but it is has been, and is currently snowing.....about 5" of snow on the ground as I write......
Looks to be about 5" and still accumulating
What a difference a night makes
......wait, what? There was nothing in last night's forecast about snow......but, come on.....how cool is it to awake to a winter wonderland?! And, then, of course, there were the Jello plans we had to move further south today......and then the Jello jiggled. Just another reminder that we need to move south a little more quickly.
So, back to Friday's shenanigans......originally we had talked about driving into Idaho Falls Friday to do a little 'junking', possibly see a movie, and then have an early dinner at a local micro brewery we have frequented in the past, but as the morning wore on we decided to just stay home and enjoy not doing anything, or imposing any kind of a schedule upon our persons. Another compelling reason for not going anywhere was the relentless winds which were in the mid to high 20 mph all day long with gusts into the 30's on a regular basis. And, finally, there were about 10-15 recorded shows in our DVR queue (NCIS, NCIS L.A., Blacklist, Designated Survivor, Survior, Gold Rush, Last Ship, NCIS New Orleans, etc.) which we needed to whittle down a tad.
Of course, there also had to be a walk around the campground, and around 3 pm we did just that.......
Yup, it is cold!
.....it was still in the low 40's, and adding in the windchill factor I would say it felt like the mid 30's, so we bundled up against the cold and walked for about 40 minutes taking a few pictures to memorialize our visit before retreating to the heated comfort of the Newell.
There was another very good MLB ALCS playoff game pitting the hated New York Yankees against the Houston Astros......it was a well pitched game with Houston prevailing 2-1 in a game which could have gone either way.
Back to the present (7:41 am, Saturday), waking up to 5" of snow on the ground reminds me of how well built Newells are......well insulated, heated water bay, electric heaters, gas heaters, chassis heaters.....they are definitely 4 season coaches. We have plenty of propane, we have 50 amp electric service (really 100 amps), and we have no schedule to keep. We may, or may not roll our wheels today. Oh, and one more thing.....it has stopped snowing, so we've got that going for us!
Thanks for stopping by!

Waking to a snowfall sure is a beautiful picture. Ni much point rushing out and driving that when you are comfy and safe right there.
