Happy Spring! Its snowing - I want you to look at the sky in the background of all three of these photos. It was lightly snowing little flakes all day and we had about 2cm until about 2hrs ago and it is getting heavier and heavier. We have 10cm now and it is going to be a bunch deeper than that in the yard if this keeps up. I can hardly see the highway now so its kicking into a higher snow gear and the flakes are a lot bigger. So technical eh? LOL. Anyway the guys were up in Limestone and said it was fantastic and about 35-45cm deep of new fresh snow. No signs of slides or spooky stuff. Remember this increases the weight & tension on the persistent weak layers buried below so still be conservative in your terrain choices. Its -2 and supposed to go to -10 tonight and -3 tomorrow with more snow in the forecast. Check out Fernie ski hill snow reports to get a parameter of measurements. This is definitely a big pow type snowfall. We will see what we have in the morning! This system is widespread and it was snowing hard in the Crowsnest Pass also with reports of Hwy 3 accidents between Hwy22 and Pincher Creek. This is "close the Pass" type snowfall now. Haven't see a vehicle in a bit so it may be closed now. Flathead and Divide open now and through the weekend and then on Monday the Summit and Divide are available with the Flathead booked all next week. Cheers - V
