More snow! Update 2/7/18
We ended up with 8 inches of new snow here in Indian Lake from Wednesday’s storm. It wasn’t the double-digit snowfall I was expecting. But we didn’t get rain and we certainly didn’t get skunked. Snow is nice and deep around these parts now and the snow banks on the back roads have gotten high! […]
