We had snow squalls this past two weeks, but this was the real deal. 10 inches of snow last night with 4 more inches expected today. The high will be 27 degrees with tomorrow getting up to 34 degrees. Larry and Nick got first turns on the NCS ski hill. I'll go out for a tour this afternoon ... the ice is coming soon!
