Dear Old Man Winter,
You are the bringer of that enchanting white gold that falls from the sky. You fill the watersheds and provide a vital resource to all life. Not to mention it's fun to play in.
While you spent ample time back in the East this season, we sure missed your presence here in the Sierras. It was definitely limited. Snow dances don't always work so I figured I'd try writing.
I know you had a tough time with those persistent high pressure ridges blocking your path over the West coast, and you had to travel the jet stream as it was. However, it sounds as if there may be a possibility of strong El Nino conditions this summer and leading into next winter.
We do appreciate the surprise and welcomed breakthrough dump you made in late April. Perhaps you'll have abundantly more opportunities to deliver a series of those low pressure systems next season. Looking forward to see you.
Have a good summer,
Snow Lover
P.S.- Send a hello to Ol' St. Nick. It's been a long time since I've written him.
"You can't get too much winter in the winter." - Robert Frost (American poet)
