Snowing!!!!!

Six inches on Thursday, 4-8 inches more today. Pretty small potatoes
but we've yet to get a real decent dump this year, so I'm glad of it.
Go Ullr!!!

Schweitzer, in N. ID, got 17" in the past 24 hrs. By far the biggest
"dump" of the year and it is pretty light and fluffy top with a temp of
only 8 on top of the hill. Makes all the difference in a ****-poor year
like this one. Might even cover enough of the rocks and twigs to make
the good stuff skiable without ripping out edges -- I hope since we are
headed up for three days this week, starting tomorrow.

I smiled the whole time I was shoveling out the foot or so from the
driveway and off my P/U.

Here in Bishop it snowed almost 2ft from 4AM to about 3PM yesterday. I was
in my classroom early as usual when they kicked us out--A couple of the
busses couldn't get through and neither the city nor the county could keep
up. Both Inyo and Mono counties were CLOSED. For a time 395 was closed all
the way from Red Rock Canyon to the Nevada border. Both of our local
mountains already had plenty of snow--now they have lots more. People are
starting to talk about '69

Thanks to all that sacrificed beer, it's finally paying off.

Sounds like we're all getting snow. I'd wondered what was happening in CA ski
areas. Can you get onto the mountains? Crested Butte had a series of dumps
totaling about 2', and then last night it got serious. Twenty-four + hours of
heavy snow fall now. Couldn't get out of the house today to get to the area.
Life is unfair, but if we can ever get over to the area it's gonna be great.

Not Friday. Today it was possible but the winds were howling, the visibility
was 0. Much of the the Mountain was on wind hold. I stayed in Bishop
dealing with the snow in our driveway and on our drive. I am near the end
of a private drive that the city doesn't plow--so we have to get out there
and clear it ourselves before the next one comes in. I expect it to be
snowing again tomorrow and Monday--but I'm going to try to get up the hill
anyway.
