First snow of the Season

OK. It is not really the first snow of the year. We actually had some in October, but it did not last long.

This is the first snow of any amount here in Boise that has lasted for any length. At least it was enough that they sent out the snowplows.

Tonight we went to an event with the Marines. They were hosting a toy drive for "toys for tots." If you brought a new toy down to the local baseball stadium you got in free for a fireworks display that was synchronized to some Christmas music. It was pretty cool, and very cold. The hot chocolate and multiple layers of clothes helped a little bit.

In any case, it was a nice event. Something we have not really done before. We hope everyone's planning is coming together well for Christmas. Be safe.

Merry Christmas
