And You think You have SNOW


As of Friday morning @ Trinity 56.5" for Feb 2008 and 469.25" for the season. This is a photo looking between my house and the owners house which are normally 30' apart and the porches are normally 8' above the ground but where I have driven between and continue to pack it is well over 12.5' and still coming down. This has been the hardest snow to keep up with because we aren't getting any rains to consolidate the snow and compact it, even though we have gotten some wet snow there are many places that you can get stuck very easily or just sink up to your neck. With almost 5' so far it looks like this could be another record month for the snow here. Yesterday while we were maintaining the trails around Trinity we heard snowmobiles @ the TH outside the gate and went to check it out and 2 of the 3 were stuck in the deep POWder and they commented that down below the snow was very wet and easy to get on top of but that isn't the case out here, if you are going to go through anything out here that doesn't look like it has been travelled on then POWER is your friend if you try going slow plan to have to dig out, this stuff is very fluffy and deep with not much bottom to it and once you break the crust you can instantly sink to your teeth, not too much fun, but I love it here and there is no place so beautiful at this time of year.
We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too.
