It's really looking like winter at the trailhead now

I turned around when I saw the loose snow avalanche that crossed the road and did some skiing at the old Blue Mountain Ski Area. Lower elevation, low angle slopes. There is barely enough snow there to ski now. About 16" on the dirt layer from Monday this week. Just over 3.5' total with all the new snow at 9,000 ft. I didn't get up very high today to see what was going on but the winds looked moderate from the South switching to the West at the weather station. I suspect a fair amount of wind loaded snow. also maybe more accumulation.
