This was one of those mornings of promise: the sun was shining a bit, but a look up the mountain saw it disappearing into that gray that you know isn't fog. And, sure enough, we're having a really nice snowfall with absolutely no wind. Kind of like one of those little swirly snow globes...

Reports are still slow coming in, but there was not much new snow overnight to talk about. Now it's falling at a rate of about a centimeter an hour, and it's picking up. Once again, time to get out there, even if the figures below are not scientifically perfect (there's good snow; what more do you really need to know?)
