Evergreen was clear starting Christmas Eve evening and got clearer/dryer along the way.

Until Wednesday afternoon, that is. Then it started snowing.

And it kept snowing.

By 7:30p the weather app on our phones said "sever winter storm warning" and there was at least four inches of snow on the ground.

Wife and I got up at 0500 (5:00 a.m. for you non-military types) to pack and head out. It had stopped snowing by then. Plans were to be on the road by 0700 but I had a minor issue with the rear glass on the 4Runner being frozen stuck to the rubber trim. Some "stop freeze" juice and 15mins of fiddling finally got it free so that we could load the back of the vehicle.

The pleasant side effect of that was the sun was fully out by the time we hit the road.

Here's what our morning drive yesterday looked like as we were coming down out of the mountains.



Our oldest went out a bit later that day and measured 11" of snow on the deck railing. The official measure for Evergreen was 14.5" of snowfall.
