There is a fresh blanket of snow covering the Vail Valley. Where there was mud and grass, there's now snow. Sidewalks and streets are icy and dangerous again. Critters have gone back to hibernation.
I woke this morning to little flurries and about 3 inches of snow which I had to scrape off my car. It's not a lot, but it's a start. You could see the storm coming last night. I was shooting portraits up at the top of the gondola and it was so cold that people were lining up to take the gondola down instead of ski.
Hopefully some of the bald spots on the mountain will be covered up and the sheets of nasty ice powdered over. The sun is out now and the little storm is passing, but there should be some more snow in the days to follow. We need it if the season is going to last until the 3rd week of April.
