Not the best photo. I should have done better on such a clear bright day. My excuse is that despite the sunshine, the wind coming off that snow was chilling (and I had been biking into it, loaded with groceries). The truth is I wasn't wearing my reading glasses so had no idea of the (lack of) quality until much later.
Mt Hutt, about 15 miles away, has a ski field. There have been years when skiing continued into December; 2024 might be one of them! We are having a La Niña season, which for us means cooler temperatures. The nights are near to freezing still, but it was probably the reason the rhododendrons had such a spectacular flowering this season this year.
Hopefully La Niña will also reduce the risk of a long and stressful fire season.
