Snow on the Mountains

32 Comments

First we had this …

… which gave us a very early start to evening darkness. With this sort of weather, it was good to be at home with a hot chocolate!

These very dark clouds dropped a terrific amount of rain which in the mountains fell as snow.

But then we got some of this …

… which lead to being able to see the snow on the mountains. And that’s exactly where it belongs. The skiers are happy but we’re equally happy with 10C (50F) and snowless environs!

Happy Tuesday.

    1. It sure does. We get lots of photogenic clouds during winter but yes, I’m very glad that what they’re carrying stays liquid down here in the valley! We might get a bit of snow but it usually doesn’t last.

    1. Thanks, Allan. For sure! All the skiers and snowboarders would be very happy while the rest of us could have ice-free, snow-free roads and sidewalks! Calgary got about 20cm and the airport was closed to flights for 90 minutes because the snow was accumulating so quickly. Apparently more is going to arrive through the week. Enjoy spring in N.Z!

      1. I am sorry that happened. I had a bad fall at the age of 22 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, a bad shoulder displacement, consussion, and severe amnesia for three days. However, I was young enough to continue. Now as an old guy I still continue skiing.

        1. Thank you, Thomas. I suffered a dislocated hip which then lead to a hip replacement, so with one of those my skiing days are over. Wow! That was really bad, Thomas. Yes, when we’re younger we can recover well from severe injury but that really declines with age. I had fun skiing but it’s a part of life that I had to give up. I did some skiing at Garmisch-Partenkirchen many years ago.

  10. Beautiful captures, even with the moody skies in the evening. We got some snow over the last couple of days and more is on the way this weekend. It’s looking a lot like Christmas! And I’m glad I put up my Christmas lights already!

    1. Thank you very much, Linda. Those clouds were so dark, bluish-black almost, and full of rain/snow, too! I hope you have time this weekend to enjoy the seasony views with the snow and your lights (when my children were little my weekends were incredibly busy). Cheers.
