Snow happens
Leave your rusting downhill skis on the roof rack of your car long enough and... voila!
Snow!

Could be that the continued presence of my skis up there projected some major energy to the snow gods, who responded in kind with a pleasant dumping of the fluffy white stuff.
Ironically, I'm currently reading The Celestine Prophecy and this could be a sign of the Fifth Insight at work... just kidding, of course!.
Rusty boards and prophecies aside, we've got snow baby!
3-5" around the city, and 5-8" in the mountains as I understand it.
Woo-hoo! Hmmm, wonder what we should do this weekend?
