The wind was crazy lastnight. 55 mph gust

If I had to pick I'd probably rather have a super snowy start to the season than end to the season. At least if the mountains get buried in December they'll stay buried for a couple months versus nothing until late in the season. Looks like both Baker and Paradise are nearing 50" of snow depth and have picked up 30" so far since Thursday.

Picking up here, 1" snow per hour if not slightly more.

I could settle for that winter. Was an absolute torch here (warmest winter on record until last year) but we had one week of bliss.

I'm waiting for next Thursday's 50s to finish prepping my garden for winter. We got the surprise 4" of snow last week and it still hasn't fully melted. I have several bags of leaves to put on plants and mulch up for the compost bin.
