We had strong winds and a blizzard-like strong winds last night. Really strong and snow falling at the same time. That means it is very difficult to get a good measurement this morning. There are spots ranging from 5cm to 23cm, so we're going to go with what the ski area is reporting too... 10cm. Keep in mind that there will be more than that in places, perhaps quite a bit more. A good thing!
The storm has passed and it should be a fine morning.
You know what, there might be one more storm ahead of us tomorrow and the day after... perhaps the last of the season?
