Sundown: Snow Report

This is about halfway up on the 42X zoom control, showing the weather once again miraculously clearing off about 20 minutes before sundown. Just soon enough to let you know there's still hope, but there's not enough time to do anything about it. Ain't life grand?

And this is the full 42X version of that peak. I should spell it 'peek' because that's about all we get to see of it this time of the year. The good news is that when it's snowing several many feet up there, it's raining down here and washing the streets cleaner, and it's really easy to shovel. So I don't dare complain about it, because where I grew up we had about nine months of winter, two months of bad skiing, and one month of summer to change out of our long-johns and have our annual bath. Ah, the Good Old Days... Thank God they're gone forever! And yes, I'm two years older than the discovery of nuclear fission in 1934. So I'm older than The Bomb. Or almost anybody else... and in case you're wondering, the main thing wrong with being really old is that you can remember when you weren't!
