Drip-drip-dripping
The winter is slowly melting away…I went to the kiosk to get the snowmobile trail map. Not for riding snowmobiles obviously, but to have a look at where the trails are and plan for some skiing trips later in the winter.
When I walked back home, it felt like there was spring in the air. The sun was shining, the snow was wet, and there were blue skies almost everywhere. Not your typical December day. I should feel depressed about the vanishing snow, but when I looked around, I saw the low sun paint the scenery with golden light. Suddenly the bare trees didn’t look so ugly anymore.
And then there were snowmobiles. You could hear the engine roar everywhere, including the forest behind my house. So far this winter there hasn’t been much snow in the forest and now that it’s warm, the little there was is mostly gone.
Before I moved to Los, I assumed that snowmobile riding depends on the prevailing snow conditions. Now I know better. It depends on the calendar date.
