Where is the SNOW!?!

It's 56 degrees out today, and sunny.  I can comfortably hang out outside in a t-shirt, and would sweat if I stood in the sun.  And tomorrow is December.  And need I remind anyone I am living in a ski resort town?  What gives?!

Baldy stands in front of us, with what remains of man made snow of a week ago when it was almost cold enough to keep it.  The last week has been too warm to keep up the machines though. The mountain was supposed to open on Thanksgiving but has been postponed till tomorrow, but it certainly won't open for skiing tomorrow morning either, unless we have some crazy fluke blizzard! (Not likely)  According to the weather forecast, it looks like we will get a rain/snow mix sometime next week, but only an afternoon of it.  And it's not even going to reach freezing.  We shall see.

I went running this morning on the trails, something I think I will do more of while I can. There is a pretty extensive trail system for biking and walking, so as long as it's nice....

I worked about 50 hours in the last 6 days at work.  It has been slow, but at least I'm at work and not sitting around at home.  I went into work on Wednesday night expecting my last day of training, but was put to work making money because they were a person short.  I was glad for that.  I am really going to enjoy working here, I think.  I really like most of the people I work with, and LOVE my manager (Kaylee), at least so far.  She is a super positive, fun, energetic 27 year old, and we have hit it off pretty well.  We had brunch today at the Lodge (taken care of by her manager status, so free for me - yay), and had a great time chatting.  I am looking forward to hanging out with her more often.  I'm already feeling more comfortable and more at home in the area.  My dorm room is small, so I'm gonna have to figure out stuff to do outside of it, or I will go crazy.

My room is small (8'x14'), and right above the Inn bakery, so even though we have a heater, we will NEVER need to use it.  Last night it got so warm (probably about 85), neither one of us could sleep.  I slept in 20 minute intervals, and kept waking up cause I was sweating, in shorts and a tank top.  At 3am I finally just got up and went outside and sat for 30 minutes till I was cold and could appreciate the heat of the room.  It's stifling in there, since there is no circulating air.  I felt like I was suffocating.  We need to figure something out.  I hope that my roommate will agree to keeping the window open at night, but since it's at the end of her bed, she might get too cold.  The room is too small to put a fan in (there is really no room for it).  Ahh!!!  I will make it, though. :-)
