It begins...

It's a classic Hatu day here. I wonder exactly what significant
means. Doesn't take much to cover some of the resort runs.

Just dreaming... carry on.

You just have to love how they (the NWS) words these things sometimes.

Maybe they actually meant to say "considerable".

If it's significant, I'll consider it. They're saying 1-3" tomorrow
day at 8K' and then continuing on through Tuesday. If it totals a a
foot, something at high elevation with few buried hazards might be
doable, like So Long at Alta or something off the Guard Road (USA Bowl?)

Mental note: Clean, tune, and wax skis today or tomorrow. Mark hidden
treasures outside with bamboo. Buy chains for the new 4x4. Pump outhouse.
Move wood closer to house now that fire season appears to be over.

As I read that, I get 7-14" above 7000 feet...

If that pans out on the high end, Oct 3 may be Day 1.

Now they are back to the original forecast. For about 8 - 12 hours
yesterday, it appeared as if they had downgraded the precip somewhat.

I like it better this way.

The models were saying it would stall to the north. Now they're
thinking it'll push through. I think this will be the first snowfall
to stick around up high in the shade. Let's just hope it keeps coming
or this snow will just turn into dragon hatchlings.

The canyon was really busy today with everyone getting ready for the
snow. Lot's of "honeywagons", they graded the parking lot, moved
trees, and the water company finally hauled out the old pipe they
pulled out and had sitting by my road. And swirling clouds were
guarding the meadow all day. Really cool light. Gold light all day. No
recreationists all day though.
