The sun is out today. Now, I've made my preference for pounding snow (soft underfoot, keeps out the riffraff), but the mountains were really beautiful in all their white glory this morning. We can always use a sunny day to help clear off roofs around here, too, and people were up on roofs digging away throughout the day. And a lot of people visiting Myoko actually never see Mt. Myoko itself even during a long stay during this time of year.


Back to snow tomorrow. Yea!
