… before it donned its winter coat.

When next I see it – next month – it will be garbed in its lustrous, silvery overlay.
Happy Thursday.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful🎵
But the fire is so delightful
🎶 Since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow … [Frank Sinatra]
Um, no thanks! I would rather dream about this.

Lovely fires on a winter’s night are beautiful, but I’ve already seen a lot of snow!
Happy Wednesday.
Our rise in temperature caused this snow canopy to develop. You can see where the door has shaved off some of the snow; whittled it down so to speak.

You might be wondering why we haven’t knocked it down. Actually, it’s attached up there rather solidly, and secondly, that’s a lot of snow. If we knock it down, we will have to shovel it off our steps, and since it has become warmer, the snow has become denser and heavier.
That’s probably more than you wanted to know about snow. 😉
Happy Tuesday.
We’re experiencing a warming period and all the snow from last week has softened and is beginning to melt.

This likely means that we will get more snow, but in the meantime, it’s sunny!
Happy Monday.
… from the Coquihalla Connector through the Okanagan Mountain range in August.



After our huge snowfall from last weekend and the cold weather that followed, I needed to see some reminders of sunny days and bright skies.

Happy Wednesday.
Although it’s normal for this subarctic area to receive large snowfalls during November, the most recent one was particularly generous! 55 cm (about 22 inches) fell during a three-day period, filling driveways and road verges and obliterating vision to create a temporarily monochromatic world. Here are some snow covered views.



The snow finally stopped this afternoon and the sun made an appearance, but I understand that we will get more on Friday.
Happy Tuesday.
The lake effect snow is coming down in full abundance. It hasn’t stopped snowing – a very heavy, wet snow – for 48 hours now.



Happy Monday.
The November snow is off to a good start in NWT.

There will be heavy periods of it (sometimes for days at a time) until December when the temperature will drop enough to slow it down.
Happy Sunday.
A moody October lake with low clouds.

Happy Saturday.
