Nöel or No Well?

So, Nöel or No Well? Certainly no tree wells to worry about since the snow is yet deep enough to form a hint of one. I’m assuming we were all naughty this year and Santa is in cahoots with Mother Nature because the snow at Blacksmith was absolutely attrocious. The alder bashing is remarkably terrible due to a complete lack of snow. We’re talkin depth of snow around 30-40cm around the 1900m mark, which is where we opted to abort and traipse back down to the car. It’s so bad that it’s not even worth a walk to work off the Christmas dessert you ate for Boxing Day breakfast until more snow arrives. Strong wind up high on Black Prince was creating some small loose dry activity but otherwise nothing to report other than Festivus grievances about the dismal snowpack. Sad face snow dance.
