Current Conditions: Sgt Jayson Albee and I went up Ephraim Canyon late Tuesday to measure snow totals from Monday's storm. I was a little suspicious of the weather station reporting 9 inches. Wind had scattered the snow. Some areas had only a few inches of new snow on the surface and other areas had drifts up to 2 feet deep. After measuring in a few areas we felt were not disturbed by the wind, we agreed that 9 inches was a good measurement. We did not notice much wind while we were up. Wind speeds still look light to moderate this morning but are a little more from the southwest. Temperatures are a bit warmer today with many stations right around 20˚F.

Mountain Weather: Today starts out pretty nice, then I think we'll see some high clouds moving in mid-day. Temperatures will get up to around 30˚F and wind will continue in the light to moderate speed category from the southwest. Another small storm moving through Thursday-Friday could bring a few more inches of snow. Overall, the weather pattern looks unsettled with some small storms rolling through over the next week.
