We had a small snowstorm this morning at Forked Meadow that added a couple of inches to the base snowpack. The storm cleared by mid morning and then it was a gorgeous afternoon of fresh, crisp snow.

I took the John Deer side by side out to check out the fresh snow and turned into a bit of a popsicle. It was great fun out in the snow!

Today was a beautiful day at Forked Meadow in the Central Sierras. The clouds were dynamic and gorgeous. The mix of sun and shadow across the snow in the meadows and woods was divine. The temperature was cold but pleasant. It was a great day for rambling around, looking at how the depths of winter can impact the meadows.

The snow at Forked Meadow continues to hang around. We’ve gotten some snow this year but it’s been pretty minimal overall compared to historical averages. There is maybe 2-3 feet of snow in the meadows but with some areas already bare. We’ll see if we get very many more storms this winter. The Sierra Nevada snowpack can be a fickle thing.
