Light Snow Today

We are getting some more light snow today. Right now we have about 1-2 inches up here at the top of the valley. I can't believe that we are still be getting more powder! I would have thought that the heavens had run out by this time. The temperatures are in the high 20s right now but I think they will be reaching into the 30s later today. At least that is what is forecasted.

Yesterday was the first bright sunny day we have had in about 10 days. It was lovely and warm and put a dent in melting some of the snow we have lying around. It will be quite a while before it is gone though. So if you venture up the the valley this weekend expect to see some big piles. But the weather stations are calling for better conditions in the next ten days. I certainly hope that turns out to be true.

On another note, those of you who have noticed that the 'Woodland Valley' weather station on Weather Underground is down should not be concerned. The Botchfords are fine and their house is fine. I talked to Steuart last night and he told me that the station uses solar power and there is so much snow on top of it that the battery isn't recharging. But the situation is no more serious then that and 'Station Botchford' should be back in business in no time.
