Under cloudy skies, the last few snowflakes are being squeezed from the atmosphere as our storm moves east. Mountain temperatures have been on a cooling trend, with current temperatures ranging from 10-17°F with a wind chill on Logan Peak at -11°F Brr. Winds have veered to the northwest and are blowing 10-20 mph across the upper elevation ridgelines. Lose some elevation, and there is hardly a puff of wind. In the past 48 hours, we've received roughly 4-8" of new snow (0.2-0.4" of water).
For today, we expect mostly to partly cloudy skies with perhaps a little sunshine in some areas and temperatures rising into the mid-20s °F. Winds will remain from the northwest and blow 10-20 mph across the upper-elevation terrain. Excellent riding and turning conditions can be found on all aspects and elevations.
As one storm exits the arena and slides east into the Great Plains, we will see a slight break in the action today and Thursday before the next storm steps up to the plate. Our next storm is currently off the Oregon Coast and will dig deep as it moves inland, becoming a cut-off low-pressure system that will not favor the Logan area. It looks to be a central and southern Utah special, and unfortunately, we could see pesky northeast winds as it spins over the Four Corners. No worries, we have yet another storm lined up for Sunday into Monday that should have some more cowbell. What a winter we are having!
