My own snow dance

I have this curse. As curses go, it's not that bad. It's just that every time I wash my car it rains.

This time, I decided to use this to my advantage. Seeing as how we have had a drought here — which has seriously put a damper on my snowboarding — I thought giving my little Chevy a scrub down would help the situation.

It worked like a charm — well sort of. Two days later, it was pouring rain. The problem is, the snow line is too high to help the ski resort I work at. In fact, it is pouring rain at the base, which will actually make things worse.

Oh well, so much for that plan.

Lessons learned: You can't trick a curse.

Living in this semi-arid region, I think it's a blessing, not a curse. I'll call you next time the trails get low on snow.
We got about 10 inches from this storm and everybody is smiling. It blew all day and dropped more snow. Tonight it's going to be cold, though. Clear skies and all that white. The roads will be really slick in the morning. Wish me luck on my long commute.

Wish you were here this weekend.
See you in a few when I head to Yosemite.
