In search of snow

We’re well into February and no sign of snow in our neck of the woods. To be honest it doesn’t bother me one iota. Snow in the lowlands is usually quite a miserable affair. It hampers the daily commute and turns grey and slushy after only a day or two. But in the mountains it’s fine and as far as I’m concerned there can be lots of it. Today we decided to go looking for some, not just because I wanted to make a few pictures but also because the dog loves rolling about in it.

It was very windy up the mountain and I was constantly covered in white powder. I had a bit of trouble capturing the wind and driven snow, but it is just visible on the picture below.
