Another day with lots of white stuff coming down.
It was pretty windy and snowy early in the morning; the wind tapered off and the snow has been off and mostly on since then. Just as I was doing the morning poke in the snow with ruler it got partially clear, the snowfall went to almost nothing and it seemed like it might be a kind of nice day. This did not last long, and it’s coming down hard at the moment.
The forecast is for a little break for Christmas Day (which I’ve hardly thought about, with all the fun of plowing and shoveling to occupy too much of my time) then back to days of snow. Definitely a season start for the record book. I’ve never had to shovel off my storage shed roof before the new year, but there I was out there getting some weight off the poor structure. I think the resorts are struggling, too, so not many put up fresh info yet.
I should add it was mild overnight, and the snow is lighter than in the past couple of days. Maybe I need to get those skis out....
