I had to shovel my way out this morning.
Heavy snowfall alert.
It isn't actually snowing as hard now - though still coming down at a good pace - and I had close on 50cm of new snow to move earlier. There's still a wind blowing it all around as well, so it feels pretty stormy.
I have to get back out there... snow should ease off by tomorrow.
Ignore Sun Valley having an official snow depth of 70cm. That just has to be silly! ;)
