Last snow of the season...

Just before my spill, I spied the predictable snow patch in Mahoosuc Notch last week. The notion to scrape it out and pelt the next through group with snowballs failed to materialize due to a little distraction I took.

Look close:

Thought I saw quills sticking up between the rocks just left of the snow patch---I have a good imagination

It's funny you should suggest that. I had just purchased two hardhats for trail clearing work.

With a concussion and a cracked skull, I have to be absolutely certain I don't fall on my head again for a while, which kind of screws up the rest of the summer's plans for climbing, rafting, roof work, etc. Honestly though, I think I'd only have a helmet on if I had to go through the notch again real soon.

there ARE bones down in there from the animals that couldn't get out, like the moose. My nephew saw its spinal cord.

Some extra "last snow of the season"snow stoke

that I kept from MRG last winter in my freezer. Pure frozen goodness to bridge me over into another season. Picture taken about 5 minutes ago.

How did you get it to stay so fluffy? They usually evaporate and melt a bit due to the constant door open/close. The last time I did it, by August mine looked like a small ice ball.

Kept in the same foam coffee cup I scooped it into. The freezer in my garage doesn't get a lot of traffic. It's a back up unit.
