See same weather as Maui...

Who needs to go to Maui?

We are having the same balmy weather here on Northern Vancouver Island! LOL

These are a couple of pictures from Quatse Lake, for what it's worth this is the first bit of snow we've had this season. Fingers crossed this is all we're going to get!

Getting Frosty!

 

We had a winter storm here over the weekend. The top of Haleakala got snow and it's still there today. 

The storm was expected but it got worse than they thought it would. Hurricane force winds on Haleakala Sunday. A lot of the isalnd lost power and internet for a day, some people two (inlcuding me) and they closed the summit or I would have been up there taking more photos. This one was taken from my yard.

It has been cold and rainy for the last few days and Sunday we had 85mph winds. It got down to 35 degrees at my house and I had to wear long pants with shoes and socks!

I think it's time to head down the moutnain and find a warm beach!

Funky Mushrooms!

Funky Mushrooms also known as "Amanita muscaria". Though they look like tasty little treats you definitely don't want to eat these ones!
