The RETURN of winter

What a difference a few days make! We seem to be back into the swing of winter out here at the Brim, snow making kicked back into gear last night and continues as I write and natural snow fell in squalls for most of the day today. The effect Monday's rain had seems to be reversed now that the groomers have taken a few passes over our refrozen surface...game on.

On more than a few occasions today snow squalls filled the air...
(this was snow...not fog)


By mid afternoon the sun had cut through the overcast skies...and blue began to spread across the horizon
