Local snows
12/5/2002

Cold, dense, dry air spilled over us this week, and remains in place, like a mountain spinning clockwise. Being heavy, it is descending and pushing itself around. So while several inches of snow are forecast for our neighbors 60 miles south and east, we look up at altostratus...a layer of relatively warm, moister air trying to climb over the mountain. Happily, it is very cold, and a local storm is drifting eastward from snowguns on the slopes of the Blackwater. It is a busy place.

If you go right up to rescue hut at the tow rope and look right in, you find the Rescue Squad poised and ready for action.

Meanwhile, across campus to the northwest, girls' varsity hockey played Proctor's first game in the new rink. Here, they celebrate one of their goals against Holderness.

The snow we want is being deflected by a dome of high pressure seated squarely over us.
Plumes of snow from these guns are visible from the village.
