Skies are partly cloudy.
Winds are generally light from the north, blowing 10-15mph with gusts to 25. Along the highest elevations, the winds are blowing 20-25mph with gusts to 35.
The Ogden mountains got walloped with heavy snowfall Saturday night into early Sunday with 15" (0.75"SWE) consistently along the Ogden skyline with up to a foot in the low elevations. Mountains east of Eden picked up 8-12".
For today, we'll have partly cloudy skies, light winds from the northwest, and temps in the single digits. Increasing clouds tonight.
For tomorrow and through the end of time, I'll only remind you, Be careful what you wish for. We have a very active weather pattern on deck with a series of storms starting tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures warm to the upper teens to low 20s tomorrow as the westerly winds (from the west) amp up and become strong Tuesday afternoon. Light snowfall should begin midday. By the end of the weekend, we'll be measuring the snowfall in terms of feet, not inches.
Wow! Heavy snowfall and moderate to strong winds led to very active avalanche conditions yesterday along the Ogden skyline. A large natural slab avalanche released wall to wall along the Bailey Spring area just south of the Ben Lomond headwall. Observer Derek DeBruin estimated it as almost 2' deep and 2500' wide. This was on a steep northeast facing slope at 8600'. (pic below) Derek and snow safety teams from Nordic Valley remotely triggered soft slabs up to a foot deep as low as 5700'! We also received a report that an avalanche had run onto road along the North Ogden Divide. All elevations were active. Many aspects were active. And dangerous.
