I know how winds affect snowfall.
When I first began working and living out in Dutch, I sat there all day at work looking out the window watching the snow come down heavily, ALL DAY LONG.
The snow was accumulating very deep in the road ways between the buildings.
They plowed snow all day long so the facility could keep working.
My car was completely buried.
I couldn't see it.
I was snorting and steaming to go skiing.
When I got off work, I ran to the bunkhouse changed cloths, put my skis on and headed out.
As I came around the last building skiing towards to mountain I was dumbfound to see that the high winds had swept all the new snow off the island.
Everything was bare except for the old patches of snow.
The winds had swept the island clean.
Winds will also blow the snow into sheltered lee areas.
Where I come from, wind packed snow needs time to stabilize to alleviate avalanche danger.
How long all depends on the conditions following the snowfall.
Which brings an important question:
When the snow builds up deeply in large lee areas up on MK, do they ever produce avalanches?

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
