The Mini had fake snow on his Christmas list.
He got it.
It is so dumb...it's not even cold.

Oh wow lol bet it was fun for him though

That is so sweet.

Right!?

I had 70 7/8" of snow for all of 2018. Fortunately it didn't all fall at the same time. So far this year, there was only a trace that fell on New Year's Day, less than 1/16".

Unfortunately the very nature of snow is such that it cannot be shared via long distance.

That seems like a lot of snow!!

Got one of those myself the other day. Thoughtful, but it still bummed me out.

Yeah, it’s pretty sad. Nice but sad. Especially since he was put down a week ago already.

40 acre sections... wow. I wish that even came close to happening here. Think apartment complexes and maybe an acre if you're lucky and 20 minutes out of town. We bought our tiny two acre plot in 2013. Boy, are we ever set now. The region skyrocketed.
We'll likely pay the place off in a few years and move to northern Idaho. I'm hoping for at least 20 acres.
Western Washington is just too nuts for the likes of us anymore.

I was thinking of moving to Idaho but now it seems kinda far. Idk. Thinking of sticking to the Eastern US, like Great Lakes and east.

Oh...so they paid you to borrow the land. What did they do with it?

I don't know.

Idaho is nice. I have a friend who moved their last year. They have a little longer growing season than I have here. They get to grow fruit that I cannot grow here. It also depends on which part of the state you go to because they do have prairie and they do have mountains.

I'm thinking the panhandle. I have some family over there and some friends as well. Which area did your friend move to?
It'll be a huge growing adjustment, that much is for sure. I guess I'll probably have to make friends with greenhouses and the like. We've got a pretty solid growing season here in western WA for a northern state, but I think I could make Idaho work for me.
How long is your growing season? Sounds brutal, but the compromise for the beauty of Wyoming is probably (definitely) worth it.

The only thing on that property was prairie dogs, antelope, badgers, fox (later replaced by coyotes), rattlesnakes, bull snakes and a few horned toads. It was pretty flat without any trees and you could watch the semis going by on the highway that was 10 miles away. I forgot that the Burrowing Owls living in the prairie dog holes were pretty neat.

There was no electricity and no access road. It did have a well but that collapsed when there was an earthquake north east of it.

I would still consider that to be a beautiful piece of land, but that may be because I was raised in the prairielands of Kansas. It must have been pretty amazing to see all of those animals out in their natural habitat.

It's pretty beautiful around Spokane. Mind you, Northern Idaho is pretty gorgeous!

Did the new owner do so? An awful lot of land on our side of the coast owned by the government....

What parts do you live in Washington?
We are on Camano Island, we own 3 properties, one in subdivision hell, its about to be sold, we live on 2.5 acres and just bought 10 acres in the spring for 165k, plan to build on it some day but already having issues with someone on the shooting range we built on it

I live in Kitsap county, outside of Port Orchard, proper.
Is the piece of property in Camano?

Colorado! Wow. What for?
Poor things. I hope their owner finds them.

Week long vacation with family. I’m so excited to see snow again.

Good news, dogs were reunited with owner. Totally worth putting up with moody growling and smelling like grimy dog mixed with tuna.
