Yesterday the ‘big one’ was predicted. I got texts asking if I was okay, and properly prepared, for the incoming blizzard of sorts.
The blizzard never arrived. The fifteen inches predicted shrunk to thirteen, then nine, and then moved to a dusting for the overnight. As previously denoted, the winds and un-bonding snow causes much in regards to migration and filling in all your trails with drifts. Here is an example of yesterday’s wind.
Last night the overnight snow totals dropped to an inch, maybe two. As a result, I awoke with six to eight inches of fresh powder, so the totals are rising, but the forecast, for this winter at least, is quite suspect. The snow is still coming in sideways this morning, but signs of lighter skies underneath are starting to take form.
