All our dreams are washed away

Yesterday was incredible. It started snowing around 10 in the morning and didn't stop all day. We're talking 6 inches of snowfall. Bare ground was suddenly completely covered. If it is like that down here in the village we can only dream of what it is like up on the peaks. (Seriously, we can only dream as the cloud/fog cover is pretty intense) Everyone was so excited, this kind of thing suggests the possibility of an early season. The lifts could open in mere days! I jumped online and quickly ordered my boots. Last thing you want is the lifts open and no gear to ride with! (Did I mention I scored myself a free board?) All that is left to get is bindings. Sweetness. I went to sleep with dreams of riding in my head. I awake this morning to the worst thing possible; Rain and plenty of it. It has been going on for hours. I can hear the screams of all the little snowflakes: "Noooo!!!! I'm melting... Oh what a world..."
