It never ceases to amaze me the beauty that surounds us here in Grants Pass. Yesterday morning when I went over to unlocck the rec room ( about 7:30am) I was greeted with the amazing sight above. The pictures don't do it justice. It was totally amazing! The Mountain you see in the picture was poking its head up through the only opening in the sky. Everything else was shrouded in fog. The mountain is known as "Picket" mountain and is just to the south of us. 10 minutes after these photos were taken it disappeared back into the fog. An hour later all the fog lifted and everything was normal again. It never fails to amaze me.
We have already had some freezing weather here, enough to make the ground crunchy when you walk across it. Today it was a cold crispness to the air that means snow. Laurie looked at me like I had lost my marbles when I told her that I could smell the snow. At that point it was raining pretty good with a slight breeze. A few minutes later the rain slowed to just a drizzle and the clouds that were hiding the mountain tops cleared and sure enough the mountain tops were white with fresh snow. Laurie gave me another strange look like she thought I was totally whacko. Guess I am just a bit more tuned into my senses than she is....
The weather advisory for this area is from 2 to 4 inches of snow this weekend. As far as I know if we get any down here it will just be a light dusting. Who knows what this crazy weather is going to do. Could be an interesting winter.

Those are great pictures! I can't believe that it's snow time already up there. Is it usually this early?
