The weather report was for mostly cloudy skies with a chances of showers. Does mostly cloudy mean that there will be times when it is partly sunny? Na, I didn’t really believe that, but it was the best weather report for the next ten days, so I took of snow shoeing. Here are the mostly cloudy skies
But there was a partly sunny time.
The myth of the self made snowman. You can see these snow doughnuts. Snow will start to roll down a very steep hill and begin gathering snow as it rolls down the hill. These were disk shape, about one foot wide and three feet in diameter. I have seen them late in the season when the center starts to melt out, hence the name snow doughnut. BTW, I took these with a telephoto lens. Any hill where the snow rolls down on its own, is not one to be snow shoeing on.
I don’t know how this snow wrapped itself around the tree, but I’ll bet its interesting.
Here is some snow spanning a three foot distance between two trees. Pretty impressive since the maximum distance a stone lintel can span is four feet before breaking in two from its own weight.
I headed on down to lodge lake and wandered along it, enjoying another fifteen minutes of sun shine.
and then I headed back up the over the hill and made my way to my car.
