There's been a huge change in the snowpack conditions over the last few days. Extremely warm temperatures have made the entire snowpack damp in most locations. The exception is a few very high elevation steep north facing slopes where if you dig down you can find what resembles dry layers of snow. The snowpack was sloppy and mostly unsupportable by mid day on Sunday. My snowmachine track was punching deep into the wet snow in many places. If I stopped to get off, my boots would punch knee deep through the sloppy wet snow. Temperatures remained warm again overnight with most stations hovering around 40˚F. Southerly wind is moderate in speed.

Temperatures will start to cool down later today as a period of stormy weather moves in. High temperatures won't climb all that much. Southerly wind will probably get a little stronger and may feel quite breezy along the exposed ridges. A large closed low pressure system will move through tonight into Wednesday. We'll see periods of snow starting late today. I'm expecting 3 to 5 inches overnight then another 3 to 5 inches Tuesday into Wednesday morning. A short wave trough closely follows this storm and moves through Thursday bringing an additional shot of snow.
