But this time the roads are clear of ice…P1170036P1170050

The bright day settled into a twilight zone mistiness before the sun had even left the sky…

as we reached our destination!

When in snow country, do what the snow country people do!  And now we’re in no rush for spring to come.  We have to learn to ski first!

Defying forecasts of rain, a hush of snow was falling as we woke this morning…...P1160983

Snow is not only fresh, white and slippery,  it is beautiful!
