The Storm Is Here

Well, after a very dry few weeks the high pressure system that was sending storms north of California is gone.  Now big storms can barrel across the pacific and unload on us.

It's a feeling I've come to love.  Commuting across the Bay Bridge in a big nasty rain rainstorm means the mountains are getting a fresh blanket of snow.  A thick blanket of snow.


Tonight we are heading out to Yosemite for a long weekend at the Ostrander Hut.  It has become one of my favorite trips of the year.  It's always an adventure no matter how many times I've been there.  Spoke to Howard a few days ago and he won't be there this trip but we are hoping to meet up in April for some backcountry skiing.

It's hard to focus on this post knowing what is to come.  Excited, anxious, nervous, alive, looking forward to the challenge.
