Warmer today. Winds almost calm early, increasing by late morning, up to SW/20 G35. No sign of dust in Silverton yet...
Snowpack
Snowpack continues to diminish. E-S-W aspects are mostly bare ground up to treeline - where thare's patchy snow hanging on. Northerly aspects still have coverage, but seeing bare pockets at low elevations. Snow in the Gorge is almost completely gone except for old deeper slide debris. there is no snow or ice left on Mother Cline or the Riversides. Blue Point is bare ground. To the south most of the paths have been mostly bare ground for some time - including Lime Creek and Engineers. There is snow in the Jenny Parkers but it is very thin and has shrunk away from the highway.
