Still snowing today (monday). Maybe another foot last night and another foot today. I can't say how much the mountains got but very conservatively 5 feet. If the mountains were open it would certainly be the best skiing this year.
The mountains are closed for a week and in theory could re-open. I talked to a guy at a ski shop and he thinks they are done for the year. I think he is correct. I can't see them opening with everything else shut down.
It seems the trip is over. My goal at this point is to get somewhere warm so if I need to sleep in my car I can in relative comfort. Too much snow to leave town today and probably tomorrow.
Perhaps the worst timing for a vacation in many years! Hope gas stations remain open. You never know the way things have been rapidly falling apart.
I did take a nice walk today near the lake in a blizzard. There was a boat moored out there! The lake must never freeze.
Today:
Yesterday. Since then the casinos have closed down along with restaurants and most things. I briefly walked into a casino to see what it was like. As you would expect! Picture of car is from yesterday am. It snowed another foot+ since then. No salt here but they plow well and the temperature is around 32. I have chains but have been avoiding them. They are a pain and my car seems fine around town.
