We finally recieved a good storm and this morning there is about 4 inches of snow on the ground at 3500 feet of elevation. As the night went on it appears that some freezing rain mixed and has made the snow stick to the trees. Beautiful! I do not think it will last long, but it will be a fun day for the kids. Schools are closed and most roads are still snow covered. If you are coming up for a ski weekend it will be great! Enjoy! 01/16/2008
