With the New Year approaching I did some figuring on our present snow fall situation. It was forecast to be a drier winter and it seems to have been so far.
Since the first snowfall in Oct we have received @ Trinity 148.25" or 12.35' of snow up to this morning, yet we have just less than 5' on our gauge. Problem is that we received rain during that time also which compacted and settled the snow. The temps have been colder earlier than last year which has pulled moisture out of the snow especially for what we have now and even though it is firm there is 1-12" of POW on top of a base of almost 4'. Some places have a slight crust that if broken you can be up to your thigh in POW baby fine POW. Last year at this time we already had 6-7' of POW with no bottom, lots of stuck sleds who just didn't use enough power for the conditions.
Hopefully the new year will bring with it much more snow than we have seen so far but then again I can't complain too much we have accumulated 12+ ' so far.
Peace, Blessings for the New Year from the Trinity5 Pack
