Today is Thursday, January 19th: Since last Saturday we have received 51.75 inches of snow- the temps have been cool so this is still pretty light, dry snow. It is snowing and 15 degrees this morning. For folks planning on coming in for the weekend and haven’t been here this week there will be a lot of snow to move and the forecast right now calls for another 1 to 2 inches today, 1 to 3 inches tonight, 4 to 8 inches Friday, 8 to 12 inches Friday night and 3 to 7 inches Saturday. This continued snowfall has already created parking problems- please make arrangements to have your off-road parking plowed out. Parking anywhere on the travelled roadway is dangerous on these already narrowed-down roads, plows and emergency equipment cannot get through and if seen by the Sheriff’s Department, obstructing  cars will be cited and/or towed. Providing parking for yourself and guests is just part of being here in the winter- street parking is not the answer.

Wednesday Update: Looking like it is going to be Friday AM before the road re-opens. We will send an update out on Thursday late afternoon.

Tuesday Update: Progress is being made on connecting the “orphan” ox-bows on Nason Creek.

Monday: Apparently lots of traffic today was surprised by closure of the road to Lake Wenachee. Until Thursday eve. (assuming all goes well) access to Lake Wenatchee will be via Leavenworth, Chumstick Canyon and Plain.
