Snow in Truckee!

This morning, the 25 of October, had a certain chill in the air. And if you walked outside in Truckee, you would've seen a sprinkling of white snow on top of everything. This means that the weather is showing more promise, and the mountain ranges are starting to regain their covering of snow from last year. Hopefully, the snowstorms will come in full force soon, and the resorts will be able to open on time, ready for all the excited skiers.
