No snow on the ground here in the valley. It came and went earlier in the month and recently it has been mostly just cold and clear. Good conditions for walks with dogs and watching wildlife. There is some skiing up on the pass but it looks like it will be a while before our local trails have any snow for grooming. Seems like last year there was skiing at Thanksgiving weekend. Maybe I am not remembering right.

There were lots of swans around the valley earlier in the week. Most of the smaller lakes are now frozen. This photo is from Tuesday and by yesterday, Sunday, folks were ice skating there.
