When conditions turn to crap, I’m subject to a constant low level anxiety that it might stay that way. So after a few rock-solid days I was relieved to wake up this morning to snow. It dumped heavily and constantly from about 4am to 1pm, depositing 20cm ( as measured in my driveway, and half-way down Powder fields) of dry but substantial snow. You can still feel the underlying firmness in places (especially under trees), but it sure felt like powder skiing to me.
