"It was a stern night landscape. The sound of the freezing of the snow over the land seemed to roar deep into the earth. There was no moon. The stars, almost too many of them to be true, came forward so brightly that it was as if they were falling with the swiftness of the void. As the stars came nearer, the sky retreated deeper and deeper into the night colour." -- From "Snow Country" by Yasunari Kawabati
6 am: Temperatures are in the upper 20's F. Winds are from the south and have been sustained over the past 24 hours, averaging in the teens and 20's mph with 30-45 mph gusts along exposed ridgelines at the upper elevations. The winds have diminished overnight and are now averaging less than 10 mph, with gusts in the teens along exposed, upper-elevation ridgelines. 1-3 inches of new snow has fallen overnight.
Today: Temperatures will rise into the upper 20's and low 30's F and winds will shift to the west/northwest this morning, averaging in the teens with gusts in the 20's along exposed ridge lines. We are expecting 1-2 inches of snow during the day.
Extended Forecast: After a break later today, snowfall will return on Thursday, with a long-duration snow event expected through the rest of the year. Weather model runs are inconsistent, but snowfall over 2 feet with 2-3 inches of water is possible by the New Year.
No recent avalanches have been reported from the Ogden-area mountains. To our north, there was an
avalanche accident in the Logan area mountains on Tuesday with a complete burial, but fortunately, a quick companion rescue using a transceiver and only minor injuries. The avalanche was 2 feet deep and 500 feet wide. A video from the scene is below.
