It's snowing, with mountain temperatures ranging from 15-25 °F. Winds are steady from the west-northwest blowing 10-25 mph with gusts into the 30s across most of the upper elevation ridgelines. Closer to 11,000', the winds are west-northwest, blowing 35-45 mph, gusting into the 50s. I think some anemometers are rimed this morning and are not showing the true wind speeds. In the past 24 hours, we've picked up a pretty even blanket of new snow totaling 2-6 inches containing 0.10-0.65 inches of water.

The Winter Weather Advisory continues today, and we can expect an additional 1-3 inches of new snow throughout the day. Snow will eventually become more isolated and showery as the day wears on. Mountain temperatures will climb into the low to mid 20s °F, and winds will remain from the west-northwest and blow 10-25 mph with gusts into the 30s across most of our upper elevation terrain. Above 10,000' winds will be stronger and blow northwest 25-35 mph with gusts into the 50s. Another round of snow is on tap for Sunday with extremely cold temperatures.
