Posted on Thursday 30th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A sunny day yesterday, at least most of the day, and not overly warm, either! It actually took the whole day for the roof to warm up sufficiently for the deep layer of snow to finally slide off (of course, it feels and sounds like an earthquake inside the building as the snow rumbles off, which gets the heart going!). Roof avalanches (real thing)o are scary! A few people get buried every year. So stay clear of those houses and lift stations....
The snow really turned on just after 8:00 this morning, and it's coming down at a rate of 3cm/hour or more. Another powder day ahead. Powder days, really, as it looks like this one will keep going, too! Temperatures are a little milder than yesterday, although this might change with the arrival of northwest winds off the coast and snow.
