It’s snowing! Winter is back.

This is what it looked like this morning – incredibly beautiful! I sat in the Jeep with Karl and watched for a bit.

However, for full disclosure… to get the above, I did more than my usual minor-tweaking in Photoshop.

The sun came out a short bit yesterday but this afternoon, as I was returning home from Whitefish, it came out in earnest. There is a stiff breeze, a bit of sunshine and another night forecast to stay above freezing so hopefully some drying out!

Karl and I had a nice walk in Whitefish, by the soccer fields, in the fog – but the footing was grand! And then, on the way home, a little sunshine.

Day 3 of this week’s Winter Storm: 40F at 5:30 a.m., Wind high in the trees.

This freeze/melt/freeze/melt cycle we’ve been experiencing is not my favorite example of a good Winter. To date, the extreme cold has been of short duration and the melt downs followed by new snow.

This morning, as drippy, messy and non-Winterlike as it feels, the almost warm wind, the sound of it whooshing through the trees – it speaks of the still far-off blustery Spring and I can go there.

Day 2 of this week’s Winter Storm. 36F and rain all day.
