A Whole Lotta Snowing Going On

We got up to our place at Tahoe/Donner yesterday, just beating the big storm. There was a ton of snow awaiting us and I shoveled a path to the front door and shoveled the snow on the deck away from the sliding glass door and window. Then it started snowing again! It snowed hard all night and when we awoke, all my shoveling was replaced with another 2-3 feet!

We had hoped to ski today and Monday, but it's still snowing, the highways are closed, and they are predicting winds of up to 60mph! Tomorrow is going to be sunny, the roads clear, and all the lifts running. So, we scrubbed the mission for today, and will ski tomorrow (a Monday with no crowds) and drive home tomorrow evening. It should be an epic day at Squaw Valley USA where we ski.

Here is a picture I took about a half an hour ago. Notice the half-moon window peeking over the top of the huge snow bank -- the top of that window is 12 feet from the floor inside our unit! You can't even see the deck, which is buried on the other side of the bank.

Nature is a gas!
