With blustering wind and blowing snow, winter blew into the Okanagan Valley, telling us that even we are not protected from its wrath. Still, we can be grateful that it is not as cold as other parts of Canada and that, we hope, it will not last as long.
There are some good things that we can be grateful for: the ice wine grapes are picked during these minus temperatures, and soon they will be bottling that sweet liquid gold. Also the snow pack will help the ski hills, and store up moisture that will be needed come spring. Ahh, Spring, that is the thought to end on. I know that now we are getting closer, and January will soon be over. I am sure that for those people who have to work outside, Spring cannot come soon enough!
