Current Conditions
It was a real mess out there yesterday. There was 8 to 10 inches of new heavy wet snow on top of a wet, sloppy unsupportable base. Once I got up to around 10,000', there was a melt freeze crust below the new snow which provided enough support that I wasn't punching deep into wet unconsolidated snow. Temperatures stayed pretty warm with most stations in the upper 20s to around 30 overnight again. I'm guessing that everything below 9500' remains a wet sloppy mess. The wind shifted to the northwest and has been blowing in the moderate speed range. We picked up about 3 inches of snow in the last 24 hours.
Mountain Weather
We have a little snowfall this morning which may add a few more inches before tapering off. We should see some clearing this afternoon. Temperatures are going to get into the mid 30s with moderate speed northwest wind. Another small storm will move through on Thursday that could bring a trace to a couple of inches of snow.
