SNOW-SLEET-AND ICE

Wholly moley... it is getting cold here. We are trying to ride it out until Monday or Tuesday. But according to last night's weather news... it is messy all over even in Arizona. We ran out of propane gas today so Phil had to make a run down the road to get more. Luckily, it was only a couple of miles down the road. Rains started yesterday and it is sleet today with a chance of snow.  

The girls are staying warm in spite of having a short haircut. Thinking we were headed to the Phoenix area I gave them a haircut for warmer weather as their coats were much too long for there. Well, now here we are in the midst of winter... poor girls.... SuChi is staying warm with her heating pad and blanket...

 
And SuYang has her blanket and favorite chair...
 
 
We moved to another campground here at Blue River.  We now have the woods between us and the north wind.
 
 
Our campground is next to Hughs Crossing...
 
 
Normally, it is a busy place with fishermen and vehicles going to the other side of the park.
 
 
Friday our daughter and her husband came to visit. She and I went out together to get some photos of the ice and trees...
 
 
I thought I would sneak a photo of her but to my surprise she was taking one of me... crazy kid... gotta love her...we really enjoyed their visit.
 
 
This is a photo of her sneaking a photo of her Dad fishing in the middle of the road...
 
 
Here he is again fishing in the same spot...

 
Here is another...
 
 
This morning when I took the girls out I watched huge snowflakes falling along with sleet and then I spotted the icecicles hanging from the basket on my bike...
 
 
I'm beginning to think that Phil has this "snowbird" thing a bit backwards... it's south in the winter for warmth...and north in the summer where it's cooler, lol. Do I have any brave volunteers that want to tell him? Hehe.
 
We are hoping to make a run for the border (Arizona) Tuesday... weather permitting. But it depends on the icy conditions. We don't have a problem with it being cold but have a major one with icy roads and bridges.
 
So if I can't get another blog posted before then... from Phil and I, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And that you are surrounded with loved ones and good times....
