Photo of the Week – Champlain Powder

The powerful storm that treated us last night to wet snow, sleet and POURING rain also produced some of the most intense mountain snowfall we’ve ever witnessed in the northeast.  A still unfrozen Lake Champlain, an approaching cold front and a good orographic (upslope) flow of moisture definitely contributed to today’s prolific snowfall.

Ullr (the Norse god of snow) and his fellow snow god friends seemed to have responded kindly to the countless cries for mercy aross the north country.

It’s likely going to be a white [...]
