It is -30 today and no wind yet thank god. There are warnings and the schools are closed. Road opened this morning - at 5:30am I watched a ton of traffic making their way over the Pass and it is clear driving-not clear skies though. If the wind picks up then visibility will easily go back down to zero again. There were really bad accidents on the Sparwood/Fernie side before they closed the road so beware when travelling people are rushing to make up for a day lost. It is supposed to start snowing again here at the BC/AB border and flurries are supposed to kick up again and into the night.
We have snow up over our knees and the drifting caused deposits bigger than that hard to tell what the new deposit of snow amounted to but it was snowing and never let up yesterday and into the night. Castle email this morning reported an additional 25cms from yesterday's 33cms. South Rockies report this morning is up considerable almost all across the board. Wind loading faces and cornices will be very sketchy.
Per the photos - kids did a great job yesterday digging out a trench to the wood shed. Its a start on the rest of the place. Crazy Saskatchewanians - Mike Toni and gang have headed out this morning. OMG it is so cold you would want a heated visor helmet today! Safety first gang - there will be other days to ride. Supposed to warm up to the plus figures on Friday. Crazy! Cheers - V
