The first significant snowfall of the season arrived in Rossland last night, and surprised most of us it seems by dumping a whopping 33cm (measured in the yard). Winter tires still languish in the basement, our Fall yard projects are now buried, and finishing off field-work is going to be challenging, but ready or not, winter’s here. Time to swap over to the winter wardrobe, inventory the gear and order what’s missing, and start dreaming of powder.
