On Tuesday of this week we had our first "dump" of snow in the Rocky Mountains. Fortunately, everything was clear and dry the next day for our trip to Casper, Wyoming, for the Freedom State Writers' Festival. That snow barely stuck an hour, but I did have a chance to snap a pic or two and here they are:





Beautiful!

And that was a week ago. I hear they got more snow in the Rockies now.

I guess all it's got time for in Pennsylvania any more is rain.  >:(

Sorry to hear about that, Jeff. Guess you should get out a block of pine and your whittling knife!

Ski areas might open even before Thanksgiving this year! Today's beautiful...nice and warm...snow's melting but when you look up the peaks are crowned with snow!!

Several ski areas are open now with plenty of (man-made) snow in Colorado! This year I'll be skiing at Copper Mountain and (maybe) Breckenridge. Happy to give a report to anyone interested!

Just checked the west facing windows, where I can see what's happening at my house 2,000 ft up, and it's starting to get overcast. Looking for a major dump of snow sometime this week. Snow report: there was a couple of inches of new powder on top of the manmade snow at Copper Mountain, this weekend, according to a report by the skiers in my household.
