Yesterday, warm temps and strong sunshine warmed the snow on most slopes enough to make it wet. These slopes should be frozen solid with a hard ice crust this morning capped by a dusting of new snow. Only north facing slopes at mid and upper elevations still have dry powder.
This morning, a trace of snow has fallen, and temperatures are generally in the upper teens and low 20s F. Winds have been ripping across the high peaks this morning with gusts reaching 100 mph at 11,000 feet at 4 a.m. Otherwise, winds from the west and northwest have been averaging 10-30 mph gusting 30-50 mph.
Today will be cold and cloudy with snow falling but not accumulating. Very strong winds this morning should ease some today, but continue from the west and northwest. Temperatures will stuggle to climb into the mid 20s F.
Yesterday's warm temperatures heated the snow but caused few wet avalanches.
