What a week this has been. The weather went from one extreme to another.
On Sunday March 22nd Ken and I were enjoying a fairly warm and sunshiny day. We drove around the lake which was at least one third thawed. We even hiked down bear trap canyon. Ken got some great new images of the river.
On Monday we woke to a light dusting of snow. During the week temperatures reached nine degrees with a high that day of only twenty-three. Then later in the week the lows were thirty-two degrees with highs in the low fifties.
I spotted the osprey in its nest. Friends reported their first encounter with a grizzly bear and her cubs on their ranch threatening their dogs and horses.
Day before yesterday was our big surprise. A winter storm hit and dropped eighteen inches of snow. The road to Virginia City was closed.
A friend of mine created this snowman. I am five feet seven inches tall and it stands a good foot taller than me.
With this much moisture it is bound to be an awesome summer.
We often have weeks with great weather variety -- but not quite like yours!
