Finally on Snow

Sunrise this morning at the golf course

Here on Kodiak October and early November have been warm (September was actually pretty cold) and it was beginning to seem like it would NEVER snow.  And then finally on Wednesday it did snow, and it snowed a lot. And then it rained a lot.  We lost all our snow in town, but out at the golf course there is a good solid base and I have been XC skiing for the last 3 days.  The ski season has begun.

Out of curiosity I checked back through our blog to see when the ski season usually begins.  And it is usually mid to late November - so this year is about average.  Maybe a tad bit later than usual.  It's just that last year ski season began far earlier than usual, and I think that spoiled us.  Let's just hope it stays cold and snowy.  Patrick
