Yes, snow. Okay, I’m exaggerating a little…not actually here in Seattle, but up in the mountains nearby. They had a dusting a couple of nights ago, and then today more than an inch fell in the Cascades at places above 4000’. Both Anya and I are eager for the ski season to begin, so this was exciting news for us!
Meanwhile, down here in Seattle, autumn has clearly begun in the past week or so. Some of the trees are turning colors, but it’s not as dramatic as in Minnesota owing to the fact that more of the trees here are coniferous. It’s been getting comfortably cooler, highs in the 60’s, and foggier in the mornings. The fog usually is gone by the afternoon, and we’ve been having some of those beautiful (if chilly) fall evenings.
This weekend we’re going to try to go to Rainier for one last hike this year; the majority of the roads in the park close for winter on October 10th. If we can remember to bring the camera along this time, I’ll post pictures.
