Hv Don Moffatt
Hooray for Monday. . .YUK!
And this Monday forenoon
finds it snowing like crazy.
Not only here but as far away
as Portland. Mostly likely this
is a general storm. Maybe it
will distribute the snow all
over the countryside, so it
won’t be too deep at anv one
location. Noticed Jerry Pittam
out with a hammer Monday
morning, knocking the ice from
the wheel wells of the mail bus
so Jessie Bodeker could go up
the mountain with the mail.
I’d just as soon be back here
in the office where it is at
least warm. The thermometer
out back of our shop this fore
noon stood at
35 degrees,
which is better than it has
been, so maybe there is some
good in the snow storm that is
going on outside.
We found out from relatives
in the Portland area that it
was colder there than here,
and of course they have that
cussed east wind there a lot
more than we do here. At least
the cold weather did slow the
snow melt in the mountains,
and that is good news to every
one who had flooding troubles
during the recent heavy rains.
