Denim jacket and snow boots

A week after I got to Reno, I rented a one-bedroom apartment at Regina Marie Apartments minutes from downtown Reno. 

But best of all, I could and often did walk to Idlewild Park or to the Truckee Riverwalk. Much nicer weather than Florida.

Consequently, I began wearing leggings, pedal-pushers, and Levis more often. 

Since the winter of 2021 was approaching, I got black jeans and a denim jacket and - can you believe it? - cute little snow boots. 

I hadn't been around snow for a long time.

As it turned out, a few years later, Reno would be inundated with snow.

 

2023 lots of snow

About six months after Amy and I moved to Renova Flats, Reno had more snow than the town has had in a decade. It snowed heavily for 15 days in January 2023, 13 days in February, 15 days in March and 5 days in April and 2 days in March 2023.

In total, the Snow Lab recorded 136 inches of snow during February, which is 181% of the 52-year average of seventy-five inches for the month of February. 

The only way it affected me was making trips to meet with clients cold and difficult. I had only a dozen client meetings the whole winter and had a challenging time getting through the packed snow in my little PT Cruiser. I came close to falling on ice a few times.

For Amy and me? We stayed inside mostly all the time. Thank goodness for our TV and streaming. And my snow boots.
