The snow has arrived

In the last few weeks we have been watching the snow creep down the mountains towards the valley. Well it finally got just cold enough for us to keep some snow on the ground down here, in the valley! It is great to use the mountains as your temperature guide, knowing where it is and isn't below zero by how far down the snow comes on the mountains. After the snow fall yesterday, the sun peaked out through the clouds a bit this morning and it was SO gorgeous! The first two pictures aren't great because of the buildings around us blocking some if the mountains. The third picture is from a hike on Sunday where we go above the clouds into the sunshine!
