Unusual weather continues, snow blankets Tahsis

Fluffy snow blankets Tahsis overnight, Tahsis residents wake up to a winter wonderland

I woke up on January 11th and saw trees coated with fluffy white snow on a crystal clear sunny day... anunusual sight in Tahsis. It was the heaviest and most beautiful snowfall I had seen since I moved to Tahsis 4 and a half years ago.

The snow muffled my footsteps on past the Village Works Yard to the Tahsis River, and I was instantly transported back to my years living in the East Kootenay winters of British Columbia.. the sights, smells and sounds of a sunny morning after a fresh snowfall. Everything looked fresh and new under it's blanket of white, and I realized that even though I liked Tahsis' mild year round climate, there was something wonderful about a cold crisp snowy morning under brilliant sunshine such as you experience every winter in the BC Interior.



I walked along the Tahsis River to the bridge, and took some more photos of Rugged Mountain and the Tahsis River before returning home. When I walked into the house, I had to knock my shoes against the doorsill to drop off the snow, and I realized this was something I hadn't had to do for many years...
