Yellowstone National Park

We have had very interesting weather lately. It seems winter does not want to end here. Last Friday we started the day with cool rain showers, then we had a thunderstorm with hail and sleet which turned to snow with about 2 inches of accumulation. By the time we headed home from work, the sun was shining. Saturday and Sunday we had snow showers on and off.

We had some trouble with our truck after we arrived here a little over a month ago, so today we finally made it into Yellowstone for the first time this year. We took a short ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful and back.
