Fogbows and Corn Snow

 

A fog bow from a few days ago

The lack of winter on Kodiak continues, and I''m beginning to worry that cold temperatures, ice and snow will never arrive. This coming weekend it is supposed to be 46 degrees and raining.  YUCK. 

Mostly it has been a winter of dismal brown, grey skies, and mud.  During normal winters when it is cold and snowy there is generally more sunshine and the snow reflects the light and makes it seem brighter - even at night. 

But yesterday the sun did come out and it made a world of a difference.  Up on the snow it was so bright I was missing my sunglasses.  I took the doggies on a run into the south bowl, and found spring skiing conditions.  Warm corn snow.  I looked down on the dark winterless world below.  

We need winter!
