February 4, 2007

The forecast for Saturday night called for fresh snow by morning. Sunday, however, was once again sunny. This is one of the longest stretches of sunshine we've had during the middle of winter. January is usually the snowiest month of the year. The forecast is for snow on Wednesday.

With the sunny weather the x-country skiing has been great. The longer days of February should bring longer days with warmer temperatures. Hopefully, those sunny days of January will still be around this month.

The meadow is quiet as most of the wildlife has retreated down to the winter range. On Sunday, a pile of bird feathers and coyote tracks showed a successful hunt for one of our winter residents.

We are booked the weekend of February 9th and 16th. The weekend of February 24th is open, but the first weekend of March is reserved. Winter break week from February 20th is open.
