Nowcast- At o'dark thirty, a band of high clouds drift to the east, revealing a nice reset across the range... a primer coat if you will. Most areas stacked up 6" of snow with just over .50" of H20, with a few favored zones squeaking out a couple extra inches for good measure. In the wake of yesterday's cold front, winds blow from the north at speeds of 10-20 mph near the high peaks and temperatures hover in the low to mid teens. Riding and turning conditions are greatly improved with lower angle terrain delivering soft, surfy, spongy snow... along with a little alliteration... for all the Beowulf fans in the audience :)
Forecast- Expect a mixed bag o' weather... after a break in the action, look for snow showers to fill back in as the day progresses. High temperatures climb into the mid 30's, while winds switch to the south and increase into the 20's during the day, ramping into the 30's overnight.
Futurecast- Another good shot of snow slides through the area tomorrow morning with the storm juicing up Saturday night into early Monday. A foot of snow is a good bet to kick off the workweek.
Most likely occurring early Wednesday morning when 4" of snow stacked up in about an hour, our man with the avy forecast plan, Trevor Katz, spotted this slide yesterday on a steep, wind drifted slope in
Gardner Fork.
Micheal J found similar evidence of a recent avy cycle in the
Hoyt environs Wednesday.
