The above is becoming a weekly view. Once a week we get a dumping of 3-8 inches of snow at a time. Side roads not plowed, Betsy warming up after I strip her of her snowy coat. The thing is, snow is very efficient here, it doesn't waste any time to accumulate. I walk into the grocery store with no snow on the car, by the time I get out... two fluffy inches have covered everything in a white sheet! But as the winter is still in the beginning stages of the season, we then have 6 days in a row of 40 degrees where everything melts…allowing for me to go on a non-snowy hike. : )
Here I am with my new friend, a pediatric OT, Danielle. We did the small "College M" hike, which is right next to town. If you look closely, you can see our cute town of Bozeman above Danielle's head.
The most important thing about the cold though is that you fully appreciate warm beverages…and desserts never hurt either. If you live here, you have to have a positive about the snow. You know it is coming, and you know it will be freezing when it does. Whether you love it because snow is fluffy and fun, because it is pretty, because it allows for great skiing and additional snowsports, because it covers the ugly brown grass…whatever it is, you've got to fully embrace the positive, because otherwise you will be one unhappy person for many many months out of the year. So, raise your glass of warm beverage, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, rum and cider, hot toddy, etc., and cheers to the cold!
