Winter Has Arrived

It started snowing last night and hasn't stopped yet. Alta, where I have my ski pass, is reporting 37 inches since yesterday.

WINTER IS HERE - YIPEE!

These photos were both taken with the new Canon EOS 50D and 18-200 IS lens. So far, I am loving this camera/lens combination.

It still hasn't stopped snowing. I feel like a little kid :D

Have all the fun you want in it John! Snow is a dirty four letter word:-)

Looking forward to winter SPORTS posts folks :)

Jealous!!!

I love the snow! But it's 75 here today!

Up here its been nonstop rain for the last week or so. (There are occasional lulls, but not frequent and long-lasting).:(

Snow should come at least 1 month from now.

finally getting towards the end of our leaf raking season (except for the hold out trees... a few oaks and beeches)

hearign about that much snow really gets me excited and hopeful that i'll get to go skiing more this winter (money limiting).

More of a spring, summer and fall kind of a guy...

Bring on the POWDER!!! If there aren't any leaves on the trees, there might as well be snow on the ground! It has been t-shirt weather here all week and it has been nice, but I do love winter. We haven't turned our furnace on yet this year. Hopefully I will be able to log lots of miles in my snowshoes again this year!

Even a faint mention of the "s-word" around here clears out all the milk and bread from the grocery stores.

Bring on the snow! Just got all new gear for this Winter and have a couple backpacking trips planned in the White Mountains :D:D:D

I'm so jealous! It's raining here. We haven't had a good snow in years. Feh, global warming....

You're welcome here, anytime.

Photo-mom really likes that rose one - now go clean your toenails! - p-m

Probably the same snow storm that left us in the southern prairies with about 10 to 20 cm of snow. But it will be gone by Sunday. Fortunately it melted on the roads as it fell and so, while they were wet, they aren't slippery as they will be in another month or so. Good luck with the skiing.

Cheers,

Bbrr ....cool pics,nice PJ's,P.J.

-temperature varies ONE DEGREE here,(we finally have the rainy season)
-envy you your snow -go nuts n post tuns !

Very nice pics John but I hope its several weeks before I can take any like that. I's been in the 70's here the las few days.

LOL Brad you are right! I love the first shot. I like photos of snow better than being in it :D

Nice snow shots.. I too can't wait to get up in it myself... At least Tahoe now has a thin base of 12-20" or so in places.. It's a start..

Hmm, barefoot in the snow... That usually doesn't happen for me without a hot tub and some alcohol, but hey, what'ev wakes you up in the morning...

And yah, saw some ski/boarding pics from some resourceful folks at Alta who didn't mind hiking for their turns. Definitely waste deep on the way up... Fluffy all the way down. Color me jealous...
