After having spring-like weather to start these Olympic games, winter has finally returned. While some mountain venues struggled to keep the slopes prepared early on, the past three days have seen Olympic alpine events postponed due to heavy snow, fog and winds.

When the wind and snow came Friday, the downhill portion of the Womens Combined was postponed. On Saturday, the Mens Super G was interrupted by snow, a stroke of luck for Redmond's Scott Macartney. Scott's first run came as a snow storm hit, he ended up with an unimpressive time. Fresh powder is not a ski racers friend... ice is nice (and much faster). Officials restart the race from the beginning later in the day and Scott blazes a great run for a 7th place finish. On Sunday, the Womens Super G is postponed due to heavy fog and snow.

It's even snowing here in Torino, turning the cityscape into a white (slushy) wonderland. It feels like the WINTER Olympics again.
