Still no new snow to speak of

Well we haven't had any new snowfall since we got up Tues morning.  The snow we have has settled down some and with the colder temps it has set up very nicely.  There were a couple of sledders that turned around just before our bridge either Thur evening or Friday morning early but we haven't seen anyone up this far all weekend.  We did have a little rain mixed with snow & sleet yesterday but not really enough to make any difference and definitely not enough to measure.  The gauge still has just under 4' showing on it but some places have settled more than others.  The snow was so soft you couldn't make new tracks without sinking until yesterday when we found that we could walk almost anywhere without punching through as often, causing the dogs to love it, not just restricted to the trails we have made the past couple of weeks. Get out and enjoy the snow it beautiful out today.  Peace

1" of wetter snow overnight


Good Morning it's 32 degrees here and overnight we received just 1" of wetter snow which does help with settling the snow down causing it to firm up some. Yesterday we had mostly clear skies with some clouds around the mountains but each time the sun hit the peaks caused a beautiful bright spot in the sky.  Get out and enjoy the snow it does a body good.  Peace

No real Snow overnight

Good Morning it's 26 degrees and we didn't get any snow accumulation from yesterday or overnight.  These colder temps will help to set up the snow that we already have here making it a little easier too get around some.  We still have waist deep trails we are using around here to get around between houses and the powerhouse.  These colder temps will also pull out some of the moisture out of the snow making for better POW days ahead.  The skies are somewhat clear and some of the mountains are visible which is nice to see since they have been buried in the clouds the last few days.  No snowmobilers or anyone has made it up this far yet so not sure what the road is like after Bob's failed attempt on Friday on his ATV.  Get out and enjoy the snow even if Fish lake doesn't have much there is plenty out this way.  Still right at 5' on the gauge with some settling of snow after this past weekend.  Peace

11" more POW overnight

Good Morning it is 30 degrees and overnight we got another 11" of POW and even though it is compacting some we still are at 5' on the gauge with over 66" since Monday alone and this is still November and Thanksgiving is still 4 days away and if this continues on could be like 2 years ago with 14'.  It still isn't warming enough for it to settle much but there is plenty of POW to get out and enjoy either on skis or snowmobiles.  For all you mushers it's time to break out the sleds and put those ATV's away for the season.  What will we have by Thur any guesses.  Peace

4" of Wetter snow


Good Morning it is Fri  32 degrees here and we received another 4" of wetter snow overnight.  It seems to pack a little better not as sloppy as before but still lots of deep snow between here and Fish Lake and so far we haven' seen or heard of anyone making it out this far yet.  The snow level raised overnight instead of getting colder and setting the snow up nicely it stayed warmer and wetter clearing the dish for me overnight after shutting it down earlier in the day.  Get out and enjoy this winter wonderland and give me a shout if you get this far.  Peace

10" more POW overnight

Good Morning everyone it's almost 31 degrees and we received another 10" of POW overnight.  That is now over 5' on the gauge but the snow is deep and soft,  not recommended for anyone without a good sled that knows how to ride Deep Pow or you will spend more time digging out than riding.  Get out and be safe but enjoy this beautiful winter wonderland.  Peace

15" of POW

Well Good Morning  it's 31 degrees and we got another 15" of POW overnight, it hasn't set up yet and we have just under 5' of snow so the base is now 3.5' below the top of the snow not very helpful yet.  The forecast was right for once which is unusual for this area.  It's white and soft and just waiting for someone to play in it, get out and enjoy it, I plan on it.  Peace

6" f POW overnight

Good Morning we have 6" of POW n top of some very wet snow after yesterdays rains and snow overnight.  Had thought it might set up overnight but never got below 31 degrees. The road here could be a bit sloppy yet so lets just see what happens. There is over 3.5' of snow on the gauge here.  Get out and enjoy the snow

15" of Wet Snow

Greetings it's 32 degrees and this morning we had 15" of wet snow after it warmed overnight causing rain. This is actually nice in a way because it will help to form a base which we normally don't have this early in the season and on the gauge we have a little over 3.25' total. This is good and bad because the heavier snow can also cause slides in areas which don't help the situation much. No Big winds here last night as forecast but could come today. It's currently a mix of rain and snow along with a little sleet thrown in, however this is a good beginning for Snow season here and so far the predictions of a Dry winter don't seem to be holding very true. Get out and enjoy some wetter snow today.

We've got Snow here...

Good Morning we have 29 degrees and overnight we got 10" of new wetter snow. That gives a little over 3' now with a 15" base. Start those sleds, tune them up there is Pow to ride and play in here. What's in your yard. Here's a look at mine http://trin-con.home.comcast.net/~trin-con/webcam.htm

1' of POW in the last 48 hours

Good morning it's 29 degrees and snowing, overnight we received another 4" of POW making it 1' of POW since Sat morning. That on top of the 15" base we already had is starting to look like winter is here. There is plenty of snow from the first horse camp to Trinity for snowmobiling and as of yesterday you could drive in that far before launching sleds and riding in here if so inclined. It's still half a month before they would even consider to start grooming and that is only depending on how much snow arrives out near Fish Lake snopark in that time. Enjoy the snow it does a body good. Peace

New Pow Overnight

Good morning it's 26 degrees and we have 1" of new POWder, nice to see it after a couple of days without any, but I loved the bluebird skies we had. This is very fine Pow and there is about 1' base which is nice at this time of year, normally it comes much later. The road had a good base also but we had to rescue a stuck van and used a blower for the last 3-4 miles towards Trinity so owe need this new snow to cover the road again. I'll keep you informed. Peace

3" of new snow

Good morning it's 32 degrees with blue skies right now. We received another 3" of snow last night but it is compacting and only 15" deep where it is not disturbed. Nice to see the snow with Bluebird skies. There is 5-6" of snow from Atkinson Flats to 15-16" @ Trinity so get those sleds ready...Peace

Maybe this is it

Good Morning it's Nov 7 and it's 32 degrees here. We started getting snow Thur night and woke up to 6" of snow yesterday morning. The temp never got higher than 32 and it snowed all day but no real accumulation. This morning we had another 8" of snow for a total of 14" so far. We thought it was supposed to rain and get warmer this weekend but the way it is looking now this might just stay around. As long as it continues to snow I'll be reporting snow levels daily unless for some reason the plant drops.
