Snowstorms on the Mountains

    While the Cariboo Mountains are experiencing snow squalls, the fields in the foreground are practically snow-free.  The fields in the Robson Valley bottomlands get a lot of wind that sweeps the snow away and piles it in drifts along the edges and in ditches, so when we get a bit of warm weather, what snow that is left on the fields, melts quickly.  Our yard , on the other hand, is fairly sheltered and is still covered with a foot (30 cm) or so of hard crusty snow.
