-30deg 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Started snowing in the early hours of the morning. Continues to absolutely dump down. The snow flakes are just huge. Everything is blanketed in snow, roads are covered. Ground temperatures are cool and the snow is settling on the ground. The forecast is for snow, snow, snow. This is it...winter is here with a bang.

Ezorisu 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I just checked the traffic cams - it came down pretty heavily up there in the center, even toward Asahikawa. Let's hope it stays cold and more accumulates! Link to post Share on other sites
