RidgePlucker and I were approaching that mountain last year when that very same storm hit. Traffic was backed up just inching along. We hit the turnaround (across from Fry's) just as they shut the road down and were the last to make our way down the mountain. It was kind of scary but SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL. We slowly crept down the mountainside, no other vehicles around and eventually made our way into town and stopped at a local restaurant for coffee. The roads at the bottom of the mountain were fine and all the locals sat wide-eyed as we shared our adventure on Steam Mountain.

The snow that has not drifted is now thigh high and the snow continues with added wind.

All is cozy and warm here. The wind is howling, the dog snoring, the fire crackling, and Little Miss Emmy sits purring on my shoulder as I play the cello...a wonderful collection of sounds!!!!
