Birch Ridge Inn covered in new snow.

Birch Ridge Inn covered in new snow.

I must admit when I looked at the snow stake today I was a bit puzzled. At noon time, I had just finished snow blowing what seemed like 8 to 12 inches of snow from the walkways around the inn. Yet the snow stake only read about 24 inches...a net gain of 2 inches from yesterday.

Then it dawned on me that the snow that fell on Saturday was a soft, light powder. The new snow falling on top of it is causing yesterdays ephemeral base to compress. Basic gravity in action.

Ah... if all of life's problems were so easily explained....so it goes!.....Let it snow!
