Another snowy day

Whatcom Falls this morning
I woke this morning to a phone call from John, my coffee shop friend, asking if I wanted him to come pick me up on his way to Avellino's. "Why?" I asked. He said it was snowing like crazy and there was plenty of snow on the roads, too. I said that I wanted to go walking with the ladies if it was still happening, so I decided to drive myself. There was very little additional snow, and the roads were fine. But when John arrived, his car was covered with several inches of snow, although mine had none. What a difference a few miles made, depending on where in the county you live.

In any event, I went walking with the ladies and we decided to keep it flat so we wouldn't slip and fall on the snowy surfaces. Only eight of us showed up, but I was happy that we were able to go out at all.
Admiring the falls
Although it was cold to start, we warmed up quickly and caught some snowflakes as we walked, but by the time we finished our five-and-a-half-mile walk, the sun was trying to emerge. It just reminded me that you cannot exercise if you don't get outside and take a bit of a risk, but it turned out perfect.

  3. Snow in your area can be a challenge. You're not equipped for it.

  4. I am glad to see the snow melting away now. I am very afraid of slipping and falling, since it has happened several times, so I don't like to exercise walk when it is snowy or icy. I look forward to clear streets this week.

  5. Much the same here Djan, although the snow hasn't arrived yet! We are promised a week from Siberia so we are preparing for it as best we can. You are right, it is so hard to exercise indoors. Yesterday we went for a walk and today is sunny again so we really should get out again while we still can. -3 degs C this morning!
    Your picture is so pretty with the snow in the background.

  10. Dear DJan, thanks for the words, "you cannot exercise if you don't get outside and take a bit of a risk." I haven't walked in about 3 weeks because of ice/sleet on the sidewalks and the wet cold that just goes into the bones and chills me. Now, the weather is better and so I'm going to heed your advice and get out there! Today! Peace.
