How's the Snow Pack in your Area So Far?

[Salty]

Made a trip to Vernon yesterday via Kane v and Kelowna there and via Kamloops back. Other than the Coq the snow pack ranged from less than a foot to close to 3 feet at higher elevations. Nothing that would make a deer's belly drag, nothing seriously hampering them yet no crust or anything.

It was getting colder again -10 on the way home between Loops and Merritt. That area got a fair bit of fresh stuff earlier in the day and was no fun earlier judging by all the punch marks in the ditch. I believe it had been closed for a while. Calling for 15-20 cm snow in Hope today snowing lightly now.

Dude, you've got an F 150 nothing can stop you It'll be interesting to see what's going on in the Tulameen, representative country for a lot of area round 'bouts there.

Arrived safely with haste yesterday, only slowed down by Chevy's and Dodges. All Toyotas are parked for the winter I guess.
Think we had more snow in Hope than here.
So, after a few walks in the woods, maybe 2 ft. max., usually at least 3 ft. this time of year. River has a number of unfrozen, open areas, almost every prior year we could walk across it at New Years, not so today. Must be proof of Global Climate Change I guess. No tracks other then sleds and dogs but that might change as we are getting a bit of fresh snow today. Our youngest dog did find a nice pile of reasonably fresh deer crap under the snow, he treats it as Bridge Mix and enjoys it. Maybe tomorrow walk down to the Lake, usually a lot of tracks there.

In my part of region 8 I'd say average, but I'll tell y'all officially next week when I send workers up to do our snowcourse....

Ugly bought of freezing rain low to mid elevations in the Cascades last night. Crusted up bad but its supposed to warm right up in the next couple days hopefully the crust will rot out soon.

Sounds like a lot of the interior has had quite a bit of snow in the last while any updates? Its translated to all rain down here its been around 7 degrees for the last while snows all gone but the piles.

Pretty deep from Kitwanga to Tatogga lake in Region 6. I see moose floundering in it every night. I think the wolves are scaring them out onto the roads because I see 15-20 every night on Hwy 37 to the mine at Tatogga
