Man, when it snows... After yesterday’s report, the switch really turned on. We had 44cm by evening, and 54cm in total by morning. There was some pretty good wind at times, too; during the 6am snow moving (it really isn’t removal, is it?), there were a couple of complete whiteouts, with high winds.
Offshore, the winds bringing the snow are really howling, even now, so we could see some more gusting conditions. Pretty quiet now.
To be honest, conditions are shockingly good for the start of the season. Terrifyingly excellent.
