Comments
Lots of new snow in the Bow Summit area but sounds like less than to the south-east (sunshine/93s). Some moderate wind for a short time mid day, otherwise low winds while we were out. Steady snowfall in the area all day. Limited obs due to cloud cover.
The road has 30-40cm of snow on it and was down to a single lane for sections. Driving outside of the packed "trail" was difficult, high clearance trucks didn't seem to be having much difficulty though. We were able to drive into the Bow Summit parking lot without issue as the snow was blower pow. Bow Lake parking lot road looked deeper and less inviting. No plows today on 93n, I assume they have their hands very full dealing with TCH, I wish them luck!
