This last winter was an "epic" winter. Over 664 inches of snow
covered these mountains....as you can see, some is still there after our short
but very sweet summer...
For the past week we've had clear blue skies in the mornings with
beautiful billowy white clouds...only to have it cloud over
with grey and menacing thunder clouds in the late afternoon.
Yes...we've actually already had snow at 10000ft...
just a dusting, but it's there...
Some say we're in for another epic winter...
Some are predicting 30% more snow than last year...
But then, just how often are the meteorologists right???

ReplyDeleteA bit Ansel Adams, but a great shot. Always pleasant to look at.
ReplyDeleteI know LadyFi!!! But I have to admit, it's been known to snow up here in the middle of summer upon occasion...so I'm still hoping to have that late summer warmth soon!!!

I agree with s.c. You and Ansel must be related.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful view of nature having its way with us... I do hope that the winter is not as punishing as last.
Bon weekend,
