'Twas a day of swirling snow--ideal for a walk on big shoes. Temperatures were just below, then just above, then below the freezing level. The snow sometimes limited visibility. Then the mountains would emerge from the swirling. It was a lovely day. Thanks to Wayne, Linda, and able newcomer Sharon for your eagerness to experience a very special day. On snowshoes, snow is seldom a threat. At this temperature, we were warm--exercise does warm one.
After a couple of miles of walking, Sharon offered fresh cake and coffee. None of us turned it down; it even enticed Judy.
Although this wonderful snow isn't expected to last long, we will have a small expedition next Monday--hopefully on snowshoes. Before 10 a.m. at the Visitor Center. Don't let the weather get you isolated. As was said many times this morning--we live in a beautiful place! Give thanks!
