Yes - Snow! Beautiful, fluffy, classic Colorado champagne powder. The view out our window at 8 a.m. tells the story. Normally, the backdrop beyond the bird feeder, the highway and ridge is a sweeping view of 14,000' Mt. Antero.

Flyrods are tucked warmly in their cases, leaning together in the corner. It looks like the snowshoes' turn for action. They're already out there raring to go.

Oh, Baby, it's cooooold out there! But a snowshoe walk will keep the warm blood flowing. And there is always a hot cup of tea when I get back.
