APRIL SNOWSTORM IN THE ROCKIES

WELCOME TO SPRINGTIME IN THE ROCKIES!!

Saturday, April 18, 2009. We woke up, after spending the night without electrical power, to this! We had 10.5 inches of snow overnight and expect another 8-12 inches today. The power went out last night around 7:30 pm due to the heavy snow on the power lines. We spent the evening playing dice and cards by lantern light! The power came back on about 8 am this morning. It was a chilly 43 degrees in the RV this morning.


We had to run on battery power last night, so we had lowered the thermostat to 50, and finally turned the furnace off early this morning due to low battery power. We were considering getting a generator today before the power was restored.





If you look close, that Ceilidh sitting on the picnic table bench. She's not real thrilled with the weather here. I think she'd rather be back in Florida.....








Bill and Ceilidh under the pine tree beside our RV site. It is very beautiful with everything covered with snow.




This is a picture of the cabins available for rental just across the road from our RV.
Believe it or not, it is supposed to be 52 degrees tomorrow and up to the high 70s by Wednesday!!
