Major storm is forecast. 18.5" snowpack with multiple weak crusts and water content over 5". Fortunately, snow blew off roofs last storm and look likely to this storm too. Little greenhouse will need periodic clearing. Radishes and lettuce planted. One deer wandering up and down the plowed road. A few new birds finally- juncos, tree sparrow, doomed robin. Snow cover typically ends late March to mid-April. Probably on track for later date. Sun is strong when it comes out and secondary roads are a mess on warm days. No closures yet. Lots of logging trucks, a few plumbers, electricians, furniture deliveries etc. Reportedly was a good year for snow-related recreation, especially for long-distance out-of-state visitors. Down state had their own snow so that business was off a bit.
