Snowfall update

As of noon today, we're measuring 6 inches of snow with more still falling. There is an intermittent wind...

so we're getting a lot of drifting.

UPDATE:

The caretaker staff shovelled and shovelled and shovelled,
and Russ snowblew the street opening,
So.... the trailhead has one parking space open down by the street.
If it is full there is a less convenient spot at the top of the drive that is also free.
It means having to walk back down the drive to get to the trailhead but that is better than nothing.

As for the trails....
It is not quite so deep that tall boots won't suffice.
It isn't quite deep enough for wooden snowshoes, though metal and plastic will fair fine.
