I was going to write, where's the snow?


We heard reports of the highways closing further north, but as of 6 this morning, the snow was just trickling down. Around 7, though, the fall definitely picked up and it's holding pretty steady now. Luckily the winds haven't hit yet, but the forecast is for strong winds during the day. Suginohara pretty much shut down for part of the day yesterday because of winds.


All reports aren't in yet, but I'm out the door -- here's what we've got so far.
