The snows picked back up last night and have continued into the morning. Winds were a bit blustery over the late night hours, but things have calmed back down to a reasonable pitch now. We received around 5cm of new snow, but all that wind blowing around means that the sides of the runs are going to be the prime places for powder this morning. The forecast doesn't call for any significant storm totals, but there might be a surprise snow shower or two that leave us with a few more centimeters before the day is out.
Temperature-wise, daytime highs are looking to peak in the mid-minus single digits (around -5), and it should be clear and cold tonight once all this cloud-cover moves out of the way.
