Snowing fairly heavy in the wack right now... 3 inches of snow on roads.
If you don't have chains or a 4x4 with good snow tires good luck!
Love it.  Keep the masses off the flow until I get out Tues - Wed ;D

I was being serious. I could care less if people fish the Vedder...

If you dont have good tires or chains, have fun finding a pullout in the upper. The main roads are good, but the side roads and parking lots in the lower are brutal. They've started plowing and we have 6 inches of snow at my house by peach. Probably more up the valley. All that snow will be pushed to the sides

9 inches now... plus whatever has blown away on my measuring spot...
Lots of large snow drifts, I bailed a couple times on the river today cause everything looks level even if there is a dip or hill.

Roads are bad again, getting packed and still snowing lots. Suppose to keep going till about 10 tonight looking at weather maps so we'll probably have close to a foot or more!

Wow this is why I turned my car around this morning, I was sliding all over the place as soon as I hit yarrow those back roads are crazy. Hopefully nobody was hurt be careful out there guys a prized fish isn't worth risking getting seriously injured or worse.

That's a well built fence. Keep the horses in and the fords out.

At 2:40 this afternoon the wind is just brutal here in Vedder crossing-the snow is drifting like crazy. If you must go out in your vechile be very careful. It is also very cold even when you are out of the wind. Please use extreme caution.
