Yesterday (Sunday), it was snowing beautifully, nearly 2 feet of the fresh, fluffy stuff. We went for a long snowshoe through the woods. I was starting to think about skiing. I found myself starting to reconcile myself to the idea that it was Winter in the mountains.
Fast forward to last night and today. Pouring rain. The fluffy snow is mush, avalanche hazard is high to extreme everywhere and the temperature is climbing. Last time I checked, it was around +4C. I hear what we're getting is something called a "Pineapple Express". Tomorrow it's supposed to be warmer. If it wasn't December on the calendar, I'd be thinking Spring had arrived.
I'm sure some of this rain will be snow higher up. In fact, the webcams of Roger's Pass show LOTS of snow and there were plenty of travel advisories on BC highways today. So I guess I won't put the skis away just yet. The lawn chairs can stay stacked up in the snow (er...mush). Hopefully this seasonal confusion will sort itself out shortly.
