Winter
Snow in North and East
The other day I discovered that one can easily get current snowfall estimates from the NOHRSC Interactive Snow Information Website, by clicking the link to the latest page or latest image in the lower left-hand side of the page. Very handy for planning outdoor trips.
Here are some of the images you can get from that page, which are very helpful for planning camping, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling and other activities during the winter months when you aren’t necessarily sure how much snow you will be dealing with or how deep the snow is. Are seasonal-use, non-gated roads open to safe driving? This can help you find out. Very helpful for sure.
