I may have spoken too soon on the "it's OK but gray" comments of yesterday. A few hours after I posted, it got pretty nasty up here, with some pretty thick fog and limited visibility.
But then we saw a little sun before the wind picked up, and it started to snow. A nice little fall in the end, too - probably 10cm or so on the slopes, a little less here at the base. Nice to see - it may make for some sticky skiing today, but that's OK. Even the trees are white once more, with a nice blue sky above it all. I'm going skiing!
