It was such a beautiful day it's hard to just pick a few pictures to post....The weather has been teasing us the last few days....nice clear mornings...cold...but clear...lots of color in the sunrise.....It got up into the 30's a few times but we are back down to freezing in the evenings.....Melting enough to run some water on the drive...Then freezing down in the evenings and making a skate rink for morning driving....This is always fun....No snow in the forecast for the lower valley areas.....Going to see if there is a good spot this weekend to get out again and snowshoe....Not sure which direction I will go....We shall see....We have had a busy week here providing service for folks who's heaters are breaking down....Strange how that works....It's really cold and nothing breaks down....The weather warms up just a little and man the phones go crazy....Being cold is not fun...Makes folks cranky.....I will be back with more pictures from Sun Mountain Snowshoes trails as soon as I get them ready to post....and hopefully from somewhere else in the area....
