This morning I woke up to snow falling sideways and a couple inches of fresh on the ground. It seems this winter is full of surprises; sun one day, snow the next and rain falling in between...must be BC. However, today is a legitimate winter day. It is nice when the fresh snow falls, disguising the slushy mud that has been flung everywhere by passing vehicles and ploughs, covering over a multitude of sins. More snow has fallen than forecast so far today, and hopefully that trend will continue as a decent amount was projected by this weekend.
It is Thursday, which means people will begin to arrive at Paradise Ridge today in hopes of a great weekend. In fact the weekends during the winter up here seem to start Thursday and end Monday, leaving Tuesday and Wednesday as a kind of respite from the constant activity.
It will be interesting to observe Henry Rd this evening as my home looks out on the steepest part of the hill, right at the corner before our lower driveway. If this weather keeps up, it will no doubt be the centre of some frantic activity. All-seasons spinning, and travellers attempting to chain up for the first time, on a hill, with critics watching and waiting.
