Current Conditions: The storm on Saturday wasn't a total bust but almost. I was expecting at least 6 inches out of this and thought that was conservative but it looks like we only picked up about 3 inches of high density snow. It was breezy during the storm but wind from the west has slowed down in the low and mid elevations. It's still a little breezy along the highest peaks. Temperatures are around 20˚ F. There really isn't enough snow for serious winter recreation yet. There's enough to scoot around on most mountain roads with a snowmobile. There's not really enough to do much skiing or snowboarding.

Mountain Weather: This morning's clear skies will yield to clouds as the day goes on. Wind from the west northwest will be moderate in speed. Temperatures are going to get into the low 30s. I hate to say it but the extended outlook looks horrible for snow. It appears we are going to go into an extended period of very warm weather for this time of the season. We'll see mountain temperatures into the 40s by later this week. As of now, this pattern looks like it'll persist through mid month.
