Wouldn't know anything about how today's conditions were since I was clearly working from home all morning. But if I had to hazard a guess, I'd suppose a good foot of heavy new greeted padded seat occupants at the top of chair 2, decreasing to 6-8" of heavy schmoo at the bottom. I'd wager a hundred or so folks turned-out for the first few hours, but only a few dozen remained after noon when Elevator gate opened (according to the snow report). Observations from the field indicate that snow showers dominated the weather, perhaps mixed with a little rain at the bottom, but that overall, there was a drying trend as the temperatures climbed into the upper-30s for the afternoon.

Here's this artist's rendition of today's conditions:

Elevator opened around 12 for the handful of folks that stuck around and it was great! Foot or so of hot pow up high turning a little manky down low. Good fun when there's no other tracks around!

Yeah I even imagined someone calling into a 10am meeting at the top of chair 2. And that mank at the bottom of the elevator shaft was the mankiest mank that ever stank.

How about a covert video found tonight on the internet of just how hard everyone was working that morning. LOL. We did have to leave at 11:15 AM as we saw the patrol come out from E gate knowing it had to be open soon. But alas work beckoned.
