Snow? I don't know anything different, and I know I'd miss it if we didn't get any. Although it is hard to tell in the pic, it was snowing heavily at the time of the picture. It teaches you to keep your fizzen closed on the pan, and to hold the rifle close when you prime. We had no issues with miss-fires today. That Chambers' late Ketalnd throws sparks like a cutting torch. I checked for fires on the way out of the trail.
