January 5th, Snow Report – Deep Creek Lake Area

Hello everyone. It’s about time. Here is our first snow report! Whoppie!

A storm event is coming through Thursday and may leave 4-8″ by Friday. Weather appears fairly unstable after that for Sunday with some afternoon rain moving in. The hopeful part is the ground is pretty frozen so what falls could start a base. Monday gets could again with snow showers and colder more seasonal weather appears to be moving in later next week. Throw in some precipitation and winter could be back? Stay tuned here for the storm outcome and next week right here to see where we are at and what’s up.

Nevertheless our guided hikes for Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning should be very beautiful with the forest covered in snow. A journey into our very special backcountry areas will definitely provide superb picture taking and oohing and awwwing.  Swallow Falls has been very crowded on weekends. We will be avoiding the main trails as usual in the interest of safety. Currently our region is at severe covid risk and our Governor has declared a state of emergency. Be safe out there folks.

Guide and photographer Crede Calhoun loves getting folks fired up about nature photography!
