A splitting trough is approaching northern Utah. Currently, skies are overcast, and the southwesterly winds are light, averaging 5 to 10 mph. Even the highest peaks only have averages of 15 mph. Temperatures are in the low 20s to low 30s.
Total snow on the ground on shady, upper elevation slopes is around 1 to 2 feet, and becoming less supportable in the shallower snowpack areas. Sunny slopes are a mix of crusty snow and bare ground, and there’s only patchy snow below 8,500’.
