Let It Snow

I've admitted before how much I hate cold weather. However (and this may be another version of the old "make lemonade when life gives you lemons" story), if it's going to be cold, I say, bring on the snow.

This picture has me pretty fired up. I snapped it a moment ago while controlling the UberCam at Squaw Valley. It shows the effects of a couple of really good snowstorms in the Sierra, and all this has hardcore skiers as well as sometimers like me waxing rhapsodic.

The rosy glow will last for several days, until we actually load the car up and:

• get stuck in traffic on the way to the mountains
• realize how much they charge for lift tickets these days
• get stuck in a line for lunch and realize how much they charge for lunch these days
• get stuck in traffic again after skiing

For now, it sure looks good, doesn't it?
