Standing by for snow

Post by Montana St Alum » Sat Nov 07, 2020 10:43 am

The Wasatch has 3 or 4 storms lined up with FEET of the white stuff in the forecast. Hopefully, that'll spread straight across all the way to the East coast!

Now I just need a 108 (about) underfoot to replace the 185 JJ's I sold!

We had over 12" today in NE Washington, but our elevation is pretty low, so temps hover just above freezing during the day. Wet, wet snow which will likely get a nice hard crust tonight. Didn't have my skis with me or I would have given it a go.
