Way Up
This morning I walked 5½km starting out at 7:50a.m. and returning home at 10:30.
After walking to the market in the deep snow (30cm or 1ft.) I headed up thru Horner Park on our clockwise route over Mt. Tolmie.
Walking in the deep snow was more enervating than had been expected and by the time I got back was justa bout exhausted.
But what a wonderful experience! I've hiked Mount Tolmie since 1946 -- as a nine-year-old -- and have never seen it look so beautiful.
The conditions were perfect: no sun, no wind, no snow and no rain. At a balmy zero-degrees (0°C) it was most pleasant for those of us dressed for it.
When one considers Victoria only gets snow like this every ¼ century or so (1996 the last) what's not to like about it? We love it.
