Cabin Fever

The winter weather alert for the Jackson area was in effect for yesterday. They didn't miss the forecast by much. It rained, off and on, all day. It also snowed in the higher elevations with some accumulations in the 6-12" range. We have been staying inside throughout this stretch of bad weather which has lasted for the last 3 or 4 days. It is the longest period of this type weather that we have had in the three seasons we have been here.

Rather than spend the entire morning in the fifth wheel, we took a drive to the Park to see if there was any impact on the snow pack in the Tetons. We took this shot of the mountains as we stopped at the Visitor's Center near the park entrance:

It didn't appear to be as much as we expected, but it was still snowing there all night long. We revisited the center where they have this terrific model of the Jackson Hole area and the Grand Teton National Park:

Those are the Tetons on the left in the photo, and is the area where we have enjoyed many hikes and plan to enjoy many more in the near future into the hills and around the lakes - if it would only warm up and become sunny again.

It looks like another morning without mowing the grass as it is presently 38 degrees outside and threatening to rain again...
