The Wintry blankets of snow
The snow has been falling, yet again, as we remember the last snow storm of December that after nearly 2 months on the ground, had not yet completely melted here in the Duckabush valley. As the inches are piling up, only 3 so far in the most recent storm, we realize there were some pictures of the last flurry that you might enjoy seeing and sharing in during the cold winter months at Wilderness Northwest.
Come join us as we walk the paths that are now silent in the snow, save a soft patter of flakes and sudden crash of a limb weighted by the snow, but full of life come summertime.
Some of the activities that are such fun in the summertime were buried in over 2 feet of snow. Archery, the craft building and the volleyball court were in such a state that rendered them almost unrecognizable to the untrained eye.
However, the next two shots, are perhaps even more unrecognizable. See if you can guess of what and where these pictures were taken…….the answers at the end of the post 
Iciciles hung from buildings as the cold temperatures stayed even when the snow stopped falling.
Fishing anyone?
While fishing may be a difficult activity in this weather, snow angels are still possible to form even at depths of 2 1/2 feet.
We, at Wilderness Northwest,
hope you are all staying warm and dry this winter.
