Montreal was my first snowy experience and I quite loved it. The fact that the sun was always shining bright and that there was no chilly wind blowing may have something to do with it. Above all, the Ashram has a fabulous atmosphere. Even in the middle of winter, all trees stripped of foliage, all three lakes frozen, all ground snow-covered, it was beautiful. Probably that’s why it is the Ashram!
Lots of brave folks came driving up from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Toronto and other cities. You can see the state of their vehicles here! I had no idea snow was so powdery…:-) A couple of snowballs my way and I knew it…:-)

thats a lot of snow. Beautiful!
the perceived (and to an extent real) isolation is prolly what makes the ashram
a place of refuge from the storm outside!
i am talking metaphorically of the inner storm 🙂

I love the long shadows of the early morning light across the snow.
