Snow in the Mountains

Living in Wyoming, it's not unheard of to get snow in the fall months.  Shoot, it's not unheard of to get snow in ANY month, but.. when it happens early it's still jolting.

On Sept 24, 2017 (and again on Oct. 9, 2017) just such a scenario played out.

We'd had a rather warm September - at least for Wyoming standards.

A couple days early in Sept felt warmer than most summer days we'd had this year.  Which is odd to say the least.

So... when the temps began dropping and the threat of snow became eminent.... it was sorta sad.

Yet, living in Wyoming, this early fall snow is quite typical and shouldn't bring much surprise.

Fortunately, the extended weather forecast is showing warmer temps returning.  

When I shared a pic of our snow on social media my aunt commented that maybe we'd get an Indian Summer in the coming days.

She's right -- we may.

(I sure hope we do!)

But Indian Summer in Wyoming is temperatures in the 50's-60's not the 80's and 90's like most areas experience.

However, I'll root for our form of Indian Summer as we have plenty of 'before winter hits' chores yet to complete.

Chores like:  processing around 11 rabbits; moving the remaining 9 or so rabbits into the garage; winterizing the craft camper and office; putting tarps around the chicken run; adding on to Titus' dog shelter; not to mention pulling out the winter clothes, coats, and boots.

But... time keeps marching on..... so whenever winter decides to fully hit.... we'll just take it in stride.

Wouldn't be the first time we've completed some of those 'get ready for winter' chores in the blowing snow.

I'm guessing it won't be the last either.
