Snow? What snow?



This past Wednesday, the 13th,  we woke up to over sixteen inches of snow (yes that's a 1 and a 6 as in she was only 16, la la la ) after our trusty weatherman had predicted a few centimetres...All that fluffy white stuff was rather pretty, if not especially welcome this time of year, and as you can see by the photos it hung to the trees like grim death to remind us of what was surely coming. Well after a day of warm rain we woke this morning, five days later to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains and green grass sparkling in the dew. Even the snow on some of the higher mountains had gone... Ah well, like they say about snow around here:  it's something like sex - you never know how many inches you're going to get and how long it will last...happy snowshoeing! gws
