I think Andrew and I both got there in February 2019. Yeah, it’s true. You had an insane storm, and got an unbelievable amount of snow at once. We never had a big storm, but just consistent snow that literally built up a snowpack. With layers from melting, refreezing, rain, and more snow. Given the length of our driveway it was impossible to keep up with and though the snow was about 2’ on the ground it was about 35-40” on the roof of the shop.

It was absolutely amazing and I really wish I could experience conditions like that more often. The walk from the lodge to the car in the backup lot was an experience.

But I'm wondering is there anyone posting or lurking on here who does NOT like snow? It seems we are all snow starved, snow loving people. And there is never too much snow! I moved from a relatively snow starved place to a place that averages 90 inches. Never get tired of snow in December. The later you get in winter, the less exciting it gets, but still beautiful to watch. But with a small snowfall, like 2 or 3 inches, you hardly notice it, especially later in the winter. Though never as exciting as snow in Western Washington, since there it is an event, the busted snow disappointments are not a big seal because you know there will be more chances soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still bitter about the busted winter storm warning for 6-8 inches of snow Christmas Eve night to Christmas morning 1983. It rained. Would have been, even today, the best snowstorm of my life. Not the amount, though that is good too, but the timing would have been perfect, especially since there was just a little bit of snow already on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
