Posted on Monday 26th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Hey, I'm late! Today was the first real snowthrowing of the season; 15cm doesn't count, really, but when you get new snow covering the boots and nicely covering the cars, then it's the real thing.
Which also mean some maintenance on the machines, which always complain early in the season (loose bolts, parking brakes that won't release, that kind of thing).
Which means I starting chatting with the locals, didn't do my really official snow depth check. Did stick a ruler into fresh snow, and forgot to log in here.... sorry, readers! The reports will come earlier and regularly, I promise.
