snow day


I totally forgot to mention this yesterday!

During our field day on the 7th, it snowed!  It was awesome!  The entire day was filled with removing beanies and jackets and replacing them with caps/visors and just wearing light sweatshirts, because it kept getting hot and sunny and then very cold and threatening, and then it finally snowed for about a half-hour, almost tiny little hail-balls.
We could see the curtain of snow moving over a valley towards us right before it hit us, and then we radio-ed to others on a ridge next to us that it was snowing, and they were like "not here - oh, yes it is!" when the wave hit them.
It instantly improved my mood. I love snow.

It was the first snow ever for a member of our field camp group who is from Thailand.

It snowed again for a few minutes around 1 or 2pm, and other than that it was on and off chilly and warm.  Montana is a land of strange unpredictable weather.
