This afternoon we went for a Sunday drive. This was no typical Sunday drive though where you leisurely drive, enjoying the company and scenery. This Sunday drive we had a mission... we were looking for snow.
During the cold night and early morning, rain had drenched the valley. We could see snow on the mountains and we were determined that our afternoon would include a bit of the white stuff. As we drove north though, we got discouraged. It seemed that to have been successful we should have worn our hiking boots. Snow covered the mountains, but our scouts could find none on the ground.
Ten minutes in to the drive (our scouts are a bit impatient) we were getting discouraged, when we saw snow on the cars coming from the other direction. There were whoops and hollers from the scouts as a pick up truck with a snowman in the back of it came barreling from the other direction!
Our mission was a success and though the snow pack level wouldn't be considered much for you snow snobs up north... it was a wonderful surprise for those of us living in the Valley of the Sun!
