Limited visibility out there on the mountain this morning. The ski area is reporting fog. Perhaps it might get clearer, but the forecasts for the day all say cloud. It feels damp too.
There's going to be something falling overnight and I hope for the chance of being able to report some snow tomorrow morning.
Naski is out and about over at Hikage and looking straight into the camera this morning. What a handsome vegetable. Bright green, too.
