First Snow Day Of The Season
My duty station this morning was the entrance station. I was surprised to see the buffalo out in the meadow in the snow, because they haven’t been around in more than a month. They are usually gone back down to House Rock Valley by this time.
Sunrise over the meadow on the Kaibab Plateau. How beautiful is that?
The snow came in showers, and snowed like crazy for about a half an hour at a time. A couple of times it was coming down so hard and fast that it covered the road.
But, then, a half hour later, it was all gone again, and the sun was peeking out. The forecast high was 52, but I don’t think it got there today. That wood stove really came in handy today.
This is looking across the road from the entrance station, to the parking lot.
And here I am playing in the snow, um, er, I mean working. Isn’t that a cute outfit? I was glad when my shift was over, so I could go home, get a blanket, a cup of hot tea, and a gluten free cookie!
I'll bet the visitors were really surprised by the snow. It never stuck to the ground here. You look cute in your rain gear.
the snow that comes and makes everything pretty but then is gone as soon as the sun pops out is THE BEST!
Awe, it is so darn pretty there. I miss it big time.
You have GOT to be someplace special in order to wake up to see bison in the snow.
What a beautiful part of the world you get to work in. Bison?! wow.
You are amazing! I love your pics…you look very professional!
What a beautiful sunrise and frosting of snow. It seems early…
Wow, snow already, unbelievable! Great pictures of the buffalo in the snowy meadow, and you at work.
That time a year. Great pictures of the snow.
i love your uniform!!! Snow in the canyon , looks so pretty! When does the park close for the season?
Hi Fabgrandma Karen, just swinging by from Gaelyn!
OMG, snow in October? where did fall go? But you have beautiful skies and scenery.
I hope the road does not get so slippery.
Take care!
That is so beautiful. I have only seen snow a couple of times in my life and that was when I was attempting and failing at skiing.
What blows my mind is that it is FREEZING (well for us) here in Oz this week as well.
I do not miss snow!!! Just curious how long you will be staying there and where you will be spending your winter. You have a very interesting life.
