It's still snowing like mad, I'm still going out to play (and the snow thrower is even more on the fritz), but here is your timely report for Friday, January 4.


It's snowing. Because of the machine troubles I didn't get out to properly measure the snow, but there's a lot more on top of yesterday's really massive fall. We've got to be somewhere around 1 meter total for these two days, although it does settle down pretty quickly. Still means lots of powder to play in today. It was really cold overnight, as you'll see in the snow reports. Looks a little higher temps tomorrow, although still in the minus side, with some sun.


I suspect the resorts are busy, too; a lot of reports aren't in yet.
