Snow Characteristics Comments
Last weeks storm added 6"snow with 0.10 water at this elevation. Prior to this there was only patchy snow cover. Not enough to be a facet concern. With the cold temps ( 17-31F) the snow line is holding at about 7000' .Total snow is 6" at 8200'. The winds raked the upper slopes on the East face of Nebo but at the lower elevations I saw no wind damage other that a few new tree falls.
