current conditions
Clouds continue to hang over the mountains this morning as the storm system exits the area. We picked up 4"-6" of new snow, most of it coming in after 4:00 p.m. It was pretty quiet in the mountains yesterday with occasional snow flurries, some partial clearing, and a bit of "green housing" going on where clouds kept in the heat to dampen the snow surface. Winds dropped off after yesterday morning, blowing mostly from the SE in the 10-15 mph from with occasional higher gusts before shifting to more northerly. They've been light overnight but from seemingly all directions and are currently in the single digits from the south. It's currently 26 degrees at the Geyser Pass Trailhead and 16 on Pre Laurel Peak.
