Weather

Sunny and mild with calm wind

Snowpack

Overall our last storm only amounted to a skim of snow covering everything. That little bit of snow (~7") has quickly settled below treeline and is melting on sunny slopes. Paths along the highway corridor continue to hold very little snow cover and have lots of earth and vegetation showing. With ample surface roughness, we still do not yet have a true sliding layer for subsequent snowfall. Hopefully the next storm helps to fill some of this in...
