| Less than good weather... |
It's been a rollercoaster of a winter to date, weatherwise: snow, rain, mild, ice, cold, mild, snow, rain. I dislike the mild, ice, rain combination most of all... Reminds me of a rainy Britain and hunkering down in severe Gulf Stream induced British winter weather... yet here the streets are also laced with sheet-ice. Makes simply walking almost impossible at times! At these dark times, I survive only by walking around with severe looking mini-crampons on...
BUT
In between this strange, unseasonal MILD weather there is fabulous, glorious snow (you just have to know where to look ;))
I have to admit, it is a question of Time and Height. If you have the time available, you can find the correct conditions at the higher altitudes to enjoy real snow and winter conditions. Problem is, as a student I feel time is sooooo precious I worry incessantly about 'wasting it'. I admit to not being a very happy student, at times, when being a student is condemning me to the mild, ice, rain combination. Ho hum, that sort of Does Something to one!
But, at times, there is the chance to get out, to the right height, given the right time. Here are some photos of the contrasts of this winter's weather, so far:
