Snowless Sadness
Being a snow lover during a snowless winter is a daunting burden for a sagging spirit. Seeking solace where I knew I could easily find it, I meandered my way through some of my photos from different winters now past. Ahh, those were the days…
They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
There is always a chance we might experience a blast of snow between now and May. I will appreciate that when and if it happens, but I’m afraid anything yet to come will be too little, too late. For the people who try to earn a living wage by plowing snow for people, selling snow-related recreational equipment, or housing and feeding vacationers who engage in winter sports, the lack of snow is a complete disaster.
I’m just finding it deeply saddening in a multitude of ways.

Relative Something 
Well, no doubt the snow fulfils a role, making much of nature stronger and more resilient eventually. I remember you making an igloo…. Can we say the same for the ever increasing heatwaves? I think not… although who can tell in the long run… whatever else stay strong…

Thank you, Ian. One of our worries over lack of snowpack is the lack of stored moisture to kick off spring growth. If we don’t get reasonable spring rains, it will be a very dry start of our growing season.

The Snow does look pretty when it’s there.
