Rough day for snow cover. Seems to have impacted us eastern peeps more than further west. Looking at my stake from inside at night looks like we are down to +/-3" with just a skiff of new snow today, tho Grayling had at least 2". Nice that it all blew right off my car so NO SCRAPING which was getting old already last week. Grayling has managed to keep double digits depth and clearly has been ground zero for this early season run.
