Nowcast- Thick clouds settled in overnight, delivering about 3" of medium density snow across the range. We're in the warm sector of an upcoming storm and accordingly, temperatures are about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday at this time, hovering in the mid and upper 20's. Winds blow 20-30 mph from the south along the ridges, gusting into the 40's and 50's near the high peaks. Yesterday's cloud cover, coupled with warm, moist air threw a cargo net on lower elevation terrain and I suspect you'll find a zipper crust on the surface. But, don't let your heart be troubled... mid and upper elevation slopes facing the north half of the compass offer 5 star riding conditions.
Forecast- Expect on-again/ off-again snow showers during the day with an additional 3"-5" of warm, dense snow piling up. Temperatures climb into the mid 30's while southerly winds remain obnoxious along the ridges.
Futurecast- Another shot of moisture teams up with colder air and that combo rolls into the region Sunday morning. We can look forward to lower density snow with 6"-10" stacking up by days end.
No significant avy activity to report from yesterday-
Mark was in Smith-Moorehouse and has a most excellent recap of his travels above.
