A winter storm came through Walker last night and all day today.
It dropped about a foot of snow.
Tonight will be cold, in the teens, and tomorrow will be sunny.
Things might be melty, then icy, so drive carefully.
Avoid the area if you can.
If you don’t live here full time, it’s beautiful.
If you […]

Today is the annual migration of the codes for the locks on the trash dumpsters at the fire station.
(Imagine herds of padlocks moving across the frozen tundra.)
Are you standing at the dumpsters, reading this on your phone right now? Here’s the link you are looking for:
The new code for the year is… […]
Got this email from Roger.
The snow is melting, the sun is out, but there’s still ice on the roads.
It sneaks up on you, so yes, please do drive slowly out there.
It’s never more dangerous than when you think it’s safe.
There was a single car rollover accident at Sunday School and Walker Rd […]
After a week of snow, we got a last few couple inches on New Year’s, Eve last night.
The forecast is for at least 10 days of sun, with no snow.
The roads are being plowed by the county.
It’s 21 degrees, so there will be ice out there.
It’s beautiful, but could be dangerous.
Please […]
We didn’t get much, maybe a half inch, but it’s snow.
After raining most of yesterday afternoon, it turned to snow around 10pm.
I’m sure it will be gone by Noon, but it’s a reminder that more snow is coming.
Let’s be careful out there.
Coming home from town this afternoon, we were stopped at the mailboxes by a sheriff.
He said that a cement truck had turned over and dumped it’s load going up the switchbacks at Frampton Hill.
We live closer than that, so he let us in, but we saw tractors being unloaded to go up and help […]
There was a prescribed burn right next to Walker road on Oct. 28th, 2021.
It was pretty dramatic, so I stuck my 360 degree camera on top of my truck, and drove through the smoke.
Here is the 360 degree video. Yes, it’s a video, not just a still photo.
I showed a friend who expected flames leaping […]
It got cold last night, below freezing for the first time this season.
There was a thunder, lightening, rain, and hail storm through Walker last night.
It left hail on cars, decks, and places that don’t melt quickly.
It was all frozen this morning. The photo is of the hood of my truck this morning.
There are sunny […]
