Weather and Snow

The Skyline got a quick shot of snow last night with new snow amounts in the 3 to 7 inch range. It looks like the central portion of the Skyline from Pleasant Creek down through about Manti Canyon did the best with 5 to 7 inches. Fairview Canyon is in the 3 inch range.

The wind blew vary strong from the southwest Thursday afternoon. This transported snow into fresh drifts which are now hidden by the new snow. The wind continues to slow this morning.

Mountain temperatures are in the low teens currently.
