The Sunshine Coast is about 50 miles north of Point Roberts but today it seemed a lot further. We awakened this morning to snow, again, but gathered our wits and belongings and set off for Point Roberts now that the first of the month has come. And lo, by the time we crossed the border (a crossing so fast today that we barely had to slow down), there was no snow. There was as much snow down here as there was up there over the past two weeks, but it has been just enough warmer (just above freezing instead of just below) that the snow was all made to go away.
And that seems like a good enough way to start the new year: without snow, without sub-0 C. temperatures, and without a crowd at the International Market, all hoped for harbingers of good times ahead.
The photos are in the ferry terminal parking lot on the Sunshine Coast (Langdale) and from the ferry toward the shore at Langdale. Way too much snow, even for the seagull.
