With rain and/or snow in the forecast, we planned to spend the day indoors taking a four hour watercolor painting lesson. After omelettes for breakfast, we drove the van to the art center and went in about 9:30 am to buy our supplies and get set up. By 10:00 am, when the art lesson started, the snow started to fall in earnest. At noon we took a break from our labors and hustled to the van through the rain/snow mix, quickly turned on the heater and ate our sandwiches Greyson and Hayden had prepared earlier in the morning. We were back to our watercolor lesson by 1:00 pm and worked on our “art” until about 3:30 pm. We were to have dinner with Erik at the Pizza Patio at 5:00. We drove to Curry Village and moved to the gaming room to kill a few minutes, but Hayden and I stood in line to order our pizzas in the rain/snow. The dining room opened at 5:00 pm, as did orders for pizzas, and soon we were munching on pizza and visiting with Erik, anticipating his upcoming presentation at 7:00. Erik had to leave at 6:00 pm to prepare. We played a few hands of Golf, then made our way to the Cliff Room at the lodge to enjoy Erik’s talk. He did a great job, interacting with the crowd and hamming it up. When we left about 8:00pm the snow was falling hard. 4” had fallen while we were in the show. We drove to our campsite in driving snow. We completed our Golf game as the snow fell. I tried to get the pop up roof up, but the wet snow was so heavy on it I had to go out and brush the snow off to lessen the weight to a level that I could manage. As Sally and I climbed into our snug tent the snow continued to fall, both directly from the sky and now off the trees.
