Posted on Monday 13th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow never really stopped through the day yesterday and into today... well, OK, we had a few moments of sun around lunchtime (kind of what it's threatening to do right now). But the flakes kept on drifting down, giving us about another 17cm. Just enough for the snowplows and the rotor (the giant eggbeater with a chute snowblowing thing) to come by around 4am and get me awake and ready for more fighting with the drifts. Which I really didn't have to do.
I know snow clearing has been a big theme this year, but let's just say that, with two places to work on now I really appreciate the labors of my neighbors, especially the hotelkeepers who have to do a good job to ensure the easy exit and access for their guests. Visitors, give your host some credit (or give em something else if they aren't pulling their weight).
