Snow in the High Country




The only aspen that has changed around the cabin! I love it when they turn orange instead of yellow.

We did indeed get snow yesterday afternoon into early evening. It was a wet snow that came down without any wind so it stuck to everything in sight. It was nice to be inside the cabin with a fire in the wood stove keeping us cozy while looking out on the snow falling outside.


It snowed for quite some time before the temperature dropped to freezing and then it began to stick. The poor aspens were not prepared as you can see their leaves in the photo are still green.





It had started out in the morning as a drizzly rain. It stopped for a while and I was convinced it was not going to do much else. In the lull we took the girls around the bottom of our property for a much needed walk.

The aspens here had changed a great deal from just a few days before.








The snow ended up just coating the ground. During the night the wind kicked up and this morning there was not much left.

Here is Bull Mountain this morning with its dusting of white.
