Driving to the lodge last night, I could see signs of snow along the side of the dirt road as we got close to our destination. For 120 km there was not a single sign of snow, but about 15 km out, there it was, a wet dirt road and, in the light from the headlights, a bit of snow along the sides. As we got closer there was considerable snow buildup along the ditches and in driveways we passed.
I commented that we would have snow in our driveway and yard… it’s always the last area to melt in the spring! Sure enough, enough snow to see tracks from a vehicle that had been to our lodge earlier that day.
This morning we slept in! We got up as the sun was rising… and here is what we saw:
Sunlight filtering through the trees on fresh snow
Here’s the snow on the breakfast table I built.
First snow of season. Note dog foot prints on table!
Not a lot of snow, but a stark reminder that the lodge season is fast coming to a close for us! Since the weather forecast is for reasonably moderate temperatures for the next couple of weeks, our shutdown will be in two weeks. We’ll follow the advice and tips on our prepare for winter page and say goodbye for another year!
