Very cold with some high cloudiness. Light winds. Lots of sundogs indicating ice up high. Pic included.

Snowpack

The snowpack structure remains very weak on all but southerly terrain. While we have gotten a good amount of snow this month (56" on RMP), incremental loading of the snowpack has kept us from having a widespread cycle. Classic conditional instability. Very cold temps today kept recent snow from settling much, if any.
