Here in Whitefish the snow report suggests downloading ch 1 from the summit. I skied down Russ,St. yesterday and there a two hundred yard stretch of knee high uneven moguls with sticks and icy troughs. The upper mt.is not much better.

It's finally improving.

The NC mountains were big winners in the last few days. Needless to say, anytime there is more than 2-3 inches, it makes big news. The cold front is also staying long enough for plenty of snowmaking hours.

Experienced driving in lake effect snow in Michigan yesterday. Got advice from the locals I skied with at Caberfae to take the US highway close to the lake, not the one inland. It dumped in my destination, Petosky, all day. As soon as US31 wasn't right next to the lake north of Elk Rapids, visibility was an issue with blowing snow. It was frigid, so the road surface was packed snow so that wasn't a big deal.

Nub's Nob and the Highlands (formerly called Boyne Highlands) got plenty of fluffy powder out of the storm system. The 70 Plus Ski Club members who skied Nub's yesterday liked the powder but not the lack of visibility.

Ole Miss’ chancellor, whose from Watkins Glen in The UpState, postponed the start of spring semester for a week due to the weather.
It’s pretty in white but the roads are icy now. Oxford is hilly.
When we ran there, there was a hill we named double drag ass hill.

First time?

First time I've ever driven in lake effect snow. Have driven in blowing snow on the Interstate highways in Idaho.
