Winter returned

After a number of days of warmth and melting and above freezing temperatures, Winter returned last night as the cold arctic air east of the mountains rushed over the mountain passes and into the valley.

The cold wind blew strong Wednesday night until late afternoon Thursday. The snow started overnight after the cold front passed through the valley. Kalispell had over 6.5 inches of snow, a new record amount for this date. Other parts of the valley got even more snow.

Everything is white again. Snow fell all day (and is still falling lightly) so I didn't do much today other than tend the fire in my wood stove and read.
