@Ming Img: Hi Ming. I live near Toronto and we do receive four seasons. Temperatures can easily fall below freezing during the winter months. And we can receive extremely warm and humid weather during the summer months. With respect to the photo, I did bracket the shots although the Nikon D200 has an excellent onboard system. It handled the snow quite well. And yes, the mountains in Washington were pretty cold that day. With lots and lots of snow.

@Robert: Thanks Robert. It was a very tough hike. Because of the snow, I had to park my car about 3 miles from the trailhead. And this shot was taken near the top of the mountain, roughly 3 miles from the start of the trailhead. Because the snowfall was fresh, the trail was not broken. I could have used some snowshoes!
