The temperature is 11 degrees at the 8400' Tony Grove Snotel. There's 77 inches of total snow, containing 108% of average water content for the date. The 9700' CSI Logan Peak weather station reports 3 degrees and the wind sensor appears rimed. The UDOT Hwy 89 summit weather station reports 6 degrees and light to moderate wind from the east overnight, veering from the north with speeds in the single digits this morning.
With clearing yesterday morning, I could see evidence of a fairly widespread natural avalanche cycle from the weekend storm in the large east facing avalanche paths in the Wellsville Mountain Wilderness above Maple Bench and the town of Mendon. (1-31-2016)
Looks like a fairly widespread natural avalanche cycle over the weekend, with numerous large and long running avalanches visible in the generally east facing avalanche paths of the Wellsville Range above the towns of Mendon and Wellsville, and south, above Hwy 89/91 (Sardine)
A hiker on snow-shoes triggered and may have been caught in a loose (wet?) avalanche at the mouth of Logan Dry Canyon Saturday.
There were several (apparently manageable) human triggered avalanches last week. These on north through east facing upper and mid elevation slopes were around a foot deep and up to about 50' wide.
