So far since October we have been blessed...maybe that isn't the right word, with 50 inches of snow, which is a lot by my recollection of the last 5 years and by many who have lived here for 30, usually we get snow it melts then a week later we get snow again, this year the sun has continued to shine like normal, but the temps are struggling to get above freezing and the snow is so dry that we get snow it takes a week to melt then we get more snow before the old snow is gone. This pattern has been really pretty but has not been great for those of us with little kids who like to play outside, but are too little to navigate the snow in their 4 inch high snow boots. Luckily we escaped to the Pacific Northwest for 10 days over the holidays and missed one of the rounds of snow and enjoyed beautiful weather most of the days we were gone. More on the holiday trip in a future blog.

Tree hunting up at Red Feathers, the best family shot we could get, the sun and snow were so bright, and full shade was hard to find, maybe squinting would have been better than shadows
