Betsy pointing out some snow on the roof of our cabin on Mount Nebo.
First of all let me say that Betsy and I got back last night from our trip to Arkansas. We had a wonderful time, but it’s good to be back home.
Now, why does Betsy feel jinxed? You have to remember how much Betsy loves snow. She looks forward to it every winter and never feels she sees enough. It snowed all day Sunday at Mount Nebo State Park in Arkansas — we arrived Monday, a clear, sunny day. It did snow back here in the Glade on Monday, but of course we were in Arkansas.
It gets worse. We went to Mount Nebo in February of this year and it snowed in the Glade while we were gone. We didn’t have any snow while we were at Mount Nebo, but while reading the comment book in the cabin we rented Betsy discovered that they had 12 inches of snow three days after we left! I thought Betsy was going to cry.
We’ll stick fairly close to the Glade for the winter, but if we don’t get at least one decent snowstorm I may need to take Betsy to northern Michigan so she can get her ‘snow fix’ for the year!

George: All she has to do is come North in January and she can get her fill of snow. All our 15″ November snows are gone and now we wait for the cucle to start again.

Oh, I bet the Glade will get at least one good snowfall in Jan. or Feb.

It’s snowing right now as I write this here in Maryland. I wish I could send it your way because I could do without snow!! I’m already looking forward spring!! 🙂

Tell Betsy to move out near Crater Lake in Oregon. They get an average of 533 inches with a record of 879 inches. 🙂 Read this for details. We got a little snow today….just enough to make the roads around our house really slick. I loved snow when I was a kid but don’t really want to see it any more.

Happyone, thanks for the offer. Someone sent some snow our way, but it just missed us here on the Plateau. That did not make Betsy happy!
Carla, Betsy will hold you to that one good snowfall!!
Ruth and FG, the only problem with taking Betsy north to enjoy the snow is that she doesn’t like to drive (or be driven) in the stuff. We’ll just continue to look forward to your pictures.

Hey, thanks to all of you for your ‘suggestions.’ As I told Ruth, “Put the soup on… I’m on the way—as soon as I can get my sleigh ready!!!” ha ha
Hugs,
Betsy—who is YEARNING for snow!!!!!
