Termination Dust

In this part of the world, the first snow of the season happens high in the mountains, but is visible from the lowlands and is called "termination dust" - that ever so light covering of snow at the very peaks of the mountains. This morning as I was riding to work I saw the first termination dust back up the river valley on two of the tallest peaks. Perhaps it is coincidence that this was the first morning in a while where we woke up to temperatures in the 30's.

Looks like winter is just around the corner.
