Our little town has the slogan : "Colfax, Above the fog, below the snow".
This is our town:



But a couple of weeks ago we had fog so thick that I couldn't see my garage which is just 30 yards away from the house.

And last winter we woke up to this:


Oddly enough, that was the day that the big moving van arrived at our house. "Welcome to the mountains!" But the slogan :Colfax, Mostly above the fog and usually below the snow" doesn't sell houses as well.

2 nights ago we had our first freeze. It got down to 29 degrees. This may not sound like much but I moved here from San Diego where it may get down to the 40's at night but it comes right back up into the 60's or 70's during the day.

It's different here.

HOWEVER, Today it's feeling rather "toasty" with a balmy 42 degrees. I think I may have to sit outside and have a cigar.
