Wintery weekend

Over the weekend we had a winter storm blow through the Pacific Northwest brining high winds, cold temperatures and even snow. I took the Clipper up to Victoria on Saturday morning. Because of the winds we took a more sheltered “weather route” along the east side of Whidbey Island. This meant we got to travel through Deception Pass.

On Sunday morning there was 10cm of fresh snow on the ground in Victoria. This is the most snow I’ve ever seen out here. This is a picture taken along Dallas Road looking out on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If you need a bit of perspective for how big the bit of driftwood is check out this version of the shot!

I guess all the snow and cold temperatures will ease the transition when I go back home to Ontario for Christmas!
