10 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. Snow has stopped falling and I can see the blue sky now.
It snowed finally!! I think mountains have got 15 – 20 cm for last 24 hours. I know everyone is waiting for power, but please don’t get too crazy today, snow is still not enough to cover all items.
Today is *SHOKAN* in Japanese old calendar. It means “Minor cold” and is the term before the coldest period. Sounds like the real powder season has just started:)
It might snow a bit more tonight and sunny weekend is coming down. Have fun in powder!!
