Nice snow is falling in Myoko!
I got up early, thinking I might have to plow, but no sound of the big rotary snowthrower—my wintertime alarm clock—and the snow wasn’t really falling that hard. It’s been good for the past two hours or so, with a nice, if not massive, accumulation so far.
Right now the wind is shifting to the west and picking up a bit; the national TV news and my favorite weather site both have sunny skies possible later in the day, but let’s just see.... The wind looks like it will shift to the northwest, not usually where high pressure comes in, but there’s also a big low pressure area out in the Pacific that’s spinning things around.
As we say so often this season, who knows? Wait and see time.
