Apr 16/13: More snow!

Howdy, it has been snowing daily. This afternoon we are really starting to accumulate down here. We had about 10-12cm but its snowing "thicker" this time. It has been -7 but now its -2 and the snow is better. Have reports from David & his Dad that Wheeler Creek (off the pipeline) has 2 feet of fresh snow. Photos from Harvey in Lumberton at Cranbrook were amazing! Easily a couple feet of new snow but lots of great snow under that fresh too - getting stuck all over - not really hero snow that you would expect. Just talked to Darcy and he is in Radium and says it is "really good". Keep sledding gang but beware loading of weak cornices and thin spots ready to give to the weight of new snow. I guess Elkford had a few natural avalanches recently. Well that is the report from here. I will try to give you one more look at the weather tomorrow then I am signing off for a couple of weeks. It is supposed to stay cool for the next few days and then be +8 to +9 Thurs to Sat and then snow again with +2 degrees with lows at night all in the negatives throughout the week. Cheers and happy sledding! V
