Thanks goodness, we rec'd much less snow & wind than predicted. As you could tell by a lot of my pics from the previous 2 winters, we can have a pretty rough hit of both. It stayed over the top of the back door, and the windows on 2 sided of the residence during a lot of those winters! As Hubby says, when you look on a USA map, we're the highest elevation as you move east from the Rockies, so we really get a lot of wind - even when other parts of our area don't. It still blows & drifts enough to be hard to measure accurately. Hubby est. on his walk through the campground today (w. his Beagle mix, Rocky) that the total was abt. 7+ inches. That's a whole lot better than the 20+ inches that was possible w. the Friday & Sat. forecasts. However, like Europe & a lot of North America, the temps have really dropped. 12 deg. F at noon, but -4 deg. chill factor. Avg. Feb 12th temp. is 21 deg. F. Water here in the residence has frozen, but not at the personnel cabin, so we'll deal w. it tomorrow.
