It just LOOKS cold.
Here's what it looked like yesterday, from across Cascade Village towards the Needles:
It's been warm and sunny here for days, with yesterday being the first day with any snow - just a dusting - but this picture, taken at midday, shows that perhaps the storm arriving today will truly give us a dump.
The building to the right of the van is where we have our little condo, with (fortunately) underground parking. (the 'underground' here is just on three sides - if you park in the east row, you basically see this same view without any condos or vans : )
Today, it doesn't look like this. You can't see the Needles Mountains. You can't even see the top of the hill behind our condo (looking the other direction). We're under a Winter Storm Warning, which is sort of another way of saying "Happiness Alert!!" : )
I love it up here. It bothers me that this change of circumstance - from pretty much anywhere up to 9000 feet at the ski village - makes me happy. That is contrary to all of my spiritual beliefs and practices.
But it's true - as we are climbing up from Phoenix to hear, I get happier with every elevation gain.
