Ok. Now I'm totally confused about the weather. Both Intellicast and
The Weather Underground are calling for 2 to 4 *inches* of snow at Alta
today:

OTOH, Klaus says it dumping, with a foot on the ground already. (Yeah, I
know, he's the next canyon over, but still.)

The national radar loop sure makes it look like it's dumping there.
(assuming that the indicated rain is snow up in the canyons - a pretty
sure bet this time of year.)

Meanwhile, it appears to be snowing in the Carolinas and Tenessee, while
it's tee shirt weather here in Michigan. Has the world gone crazy? Or
is it just me?

They clear the stake at 10:00 AM so you have to add the 6" from then
to now (4:00 PM) 12". So basically 18" since 3:00 AM . But they got
pretty close for Alta at 4:00.

Basically 7". They'll catch up later in the storm.

Yes. It's dumping.

LCC is now closed according to the Interstate warning signs.

It's tee shirt weather here too. Long sleeved. Waterproof.

Oops I goofed. They cleared the stake at 10 AM as well. So you add the
4 from then, so they have 11".

As I've posted here before, the following link is probably the best

Walt's in Southern Michigan. If it's Tee-Shirt weather where he is,
it's nice to have a fleece on top of it for "Up North". I did see
someone sliding at Boyne yesterday in a bathing suit. Hope he didn't
have a skin-on-snow contact event. Would have meant some blood
letting.

A troll! :-)

Anyway I was a chauffer this weekend so I was unable to ski. However,
my bro & father were at Brule. They said the snow was fantastic pretty
much the whole day despite warm weather. I myself live in Appleton WI
and spent last weekend at Brule, next weekend will be spent at Brule
and the next ski outing will be at Indianhead and Blackjack.

Yeah, there was a lot of snow down south this year.

Anyway

There were many kids skiing in T-shirts of the short sleve variety at
Boyne Mt. yesterday. It's not just the south that's experiencing a heat
wave. Spring skiing in February! Let's hope it doesn't last.

Yes, I am a troll. But while I live below the bridge, I try to ski
above it whenever possible. (i.e. the day before yesterday.)

Emphasis on the "was." Currently Fifty degrees farenheit with a steady
soaking rain falling. I think I hear the fat lady singing. Good thing
I had the forethought to buy airline tickets to SLC for the weekend.
