On Monday Greywolf was blanketed by another
deep snow fall, the second heavy snowfall of the winter. By Monday evening there was 41 cm (16") of settled
snow on the golf course. But on Monday night
the warm weather caused rain instead of snow.
I estimate that from Monday night through until Tuesday night over 3 cm
(1”) of rain fell on the golf course. By
Wednesday morning the rain and warmer temperatures caused the snow to settle to
the 27 cm (11”) mark at the shop.
Thursday and Friday we began to
inspect all eight of our untarped greens.
We inspected these greens for ice and snow depth. The snow depth on the greens ranges from 27
cm (11”) on the lower holes to 35 cm (14”) on the upper holes. The forth and tenth greens had a thin
layer of sheet ice which is a concern. The sixth green had some ice formation. The
remaining untarped greens showed little to no ice build up. This was surprising. The following video was shot while I
inspected the sixth green, Cliffhanger.
Apologies for the rough quality of the video and audio. There was a lot of wind as a storm moved in.
