June 11, 2008: The latest snow I have ever seen in Steamboat
Unless you were the one to wake this morning and look out the window to see the snow falling, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you we awoke to a few inches of fresh snow this morning. It was surreal to say the least. Fortunately we knew it was headed this way after watching the news last night. It is the same weather front that caught those day hikers out on Mt. Rainer. We just bought some new lilac bushes to put in the yard and thankfully we brought them into the garage last night.
I’ve lived here for over 10 years, and this is by far the latest I have ever seen it snow down in the valley. We all keep joking that summer is never really going to make it and that soon enough we will just dip back into winter again. Fortunately though, between rain and snow showers, the valley has completely greened up.
We have started taking reservations for next winter, so get ahead of the masses and pick your perfect weekend.
