Late-February blizzard!

On the last day of February, nearly everything in the greater Tahoe area was closed. Multiple feet of snow fell in one day, requiring a substantial amount of snow shoveling and contentment to not stray far from the lodge.

Ken Howard, caretaker Aaron Frankel, Eric Martin, Linda Klein and Brian Buntz spent most of the day indoors, but also took turnd divvied up duties ranging from snow shoveling, sawing icicles from the roof and keeping wood in the fire.
