Winter Snow Warnings

I woke up to snow this morning. There are several inches on the deck now. I keep waiting for it to stop, or turn to rain. It's 11 am and still snowing. Crazy. So is my spouse, who was out doing yoga on the deck this morning, in the snow. See our new patio furniture? We need a cover for it, obviously.

Snow King snow park won the toss yesterday in the hike or ski decision. We had a good 6 inches of fresh snow to trudge through on the first uphill half of our trek. We were the first vehicle to the parking lot that day! Other people out to play in the late season gift stopped at Pineside.
We skied up to an area that had been logged, had a snack at the top, then headed downhill making our own trails through the pristine snow. When we got back to the 'road' portion, we got some good glide (finally) going down our uphill track all the way back to the car. An excellent day. The dog is still sleeping it off.

Okay, tell Lloyd to put some damn pants on!

I hate to tell you this, but we've had the most warm and beautiful Spring (lasting from February until April) in anyone's recent memory. Usually, Spring is on a Thursday - this year it lasted for months!
