Default Snow

Seattle TV showed a cam shot from Crystal this evening. Enough snow on
the ground that you could see it. I hope that's a sign of what's to
come, especially for Washington State Ski areas after last years lack of
snow.

I hope that's a good sign. Still amazed by last season and the lack of snow
in so many places.

I know what you mean. I was really disappointed that Alta received a
measly 700" on the season.

So what you're saying is Alta has much to be disappointed about?

Hmmmm. Must have been a different angle.

There's definitely snow on the Tetons today. It looked this morning
like the snow level was around 7,500 feet.

Winter's on the way.

Way different angle evidently. This evening Seattle TV showed what they said
was 10" s of snow on the ground in Fernie, BC. In town already.

Hey Bob. Long time. The snow finally got here. It's snowing as I speak.
Things are starting to actually get covered. But it'll melt.

Hi, Klaus.

It *has* been a long time. I'm excusing you for not coming up here to
ski last winter (since you probably couldn't even get out of the
driveway because of so much snow). However - this winter you've got to
come up to visit.

The mountains here were covered with snow down almost to the valley
floor yesterday morning and it's snowing up high again today. Ours
will melt too, but it's nice to know mother nature remembers how to
make it snow.

We're headed to Slovenia a week from tomorrow. We'll spend two weeks
walking, climbing, sightseeing, and - from everything I've heard -
consuming mass quantities of slivovitz. We're all excited.

See you this winter.

Bob
