It’s snowing today. First predicted for Sunday, we’ve seen the leading edge for the last two days, high up behind the ridges. But passage into the valley requires negotiating a concensus on temperature, pressure,and humidity, and that takes time.
@cliffordbeshers Looking at this; and in my mind, hearing the soundtrack of the Lord of the Rings trilogy....
@annahavron When I drove from Illinois with my niece, she played 'Where is this in Middle Earth' the whole way. Rolling hills of north western Iowa: the Shire. Wild horses in a vast empty valley in northeastern Nevada: Rohan. Mordor is an hour north of me. That canyon has a mine in it, so I think it's the home of northern dwarves.
