Weather

We’ve had a busy few days of weather. An inch of water fell Saturday into Sunday with the freezing line at mid-mountain. Another inch of water Monday brought a foot of snow to all elevations. Moderate wind loaded western aspects. Precipitation ended Tuesday. Observations have been limited, though some human triggered events have occurred. As daylight increases, sunshine is also starting to play a bigger role.

Expect mostly dry, cool weather to promote snow stability through the weekend. Be wary of increasing daytime temperatures and sunshine on southern slopes.
