Happy (cold) Solstice

 

Looks more like winter. This picture is from the Paradise visitors center webcam at Mt. Rainier. Instead of warm summer, we have frigid weather across the Northwest, especially in the mountains where the snow level is down to 4000 feet. 

John and his nephew Nick return to Seattle today via the North Cascades Highway route. They might even see some flurries on the high passes. I'm staying an extra day to get the house shipshape again for the next visit, sometime in July. When we will most likely be complaining about the heat.
