It's been snowing moderately to heavy all morning, and we're stretching towards 10cm of new accumulation; a welcome surprise for those of you who were up and out there early this morning. Temperatures overnight were cold with lows around -20, but have now rebounded to -5 thanks to a change in wind direction that also brought on all this snow. Visibility levels are a little low due to all the snow coming down, but the weather should get better over the afternoon hours. It doesn't look like we'll make it back to blue skies, but at least the snow should let up towards the latter half of the day. The good news is there will be plenty of powder for those who want it!
