The expectation around here in January is a continuous stream of gray and rainy days. Day begins after we arrive at work and ends before we leave work. Coffee provides warmth, or for some, a cup of tea all day long. Curling up with a good book and knitting some new creation are comforting ways to occupy damp, dark evenings. Skiing as often as possible recharges our batteries.
Then suddenly one morning you awaken and realize that a glorious light is streaming in. The sun shines...not one...not two...but five days in a row. While no rain in the city almost certainly means no new snow in the mountains, this is still a thing of beauty. And you do everything possible to make the most of it...
Because a clear blue sky most likely means another bonus...The Mountain is out!
