Anyone in the Rockies?

Probably not too many people living south will say it but I will... I miss the cold & snow. Being in Miami has it's up sides but come winter, it's not much different than summer. So... if you're in the Rockies, or anywhere snowy, pls post some winter pics. You'll be giving a snow junkie a good winter fix! TY

I feel the same way. I moved to Phoenix about 3 years ago and I definitely miss the cold and snow. At least the cold and snow is only a 2 hour drive from here.

I really like the snow, but only if the snow fence is doing its job, and we're having a normal winter. Heavy snow starting in October or lasting thru May is not my cup of tea. Bonus of snow is it makes bright days and nights much brighter.

The first two pics are a views of hiking in the Canadian Rockies near Jasper Alberta.
The last pic is of goats licking a truck. Probably the grease attracts them.

We get to hike the Rockies in summer/fall. The rest of the year it is harder to access the trails due to snow and ice. We like the 4 seasons but the winter is too long.

Good question. That would be the right answer in winter because of the salt on the roads. However in summer no salt.
