Weather

Obscured skies gradually becoming broken. Snow ended soon after I started. If I didn't know better I'd have said I was in the Pacific NW. Smelled like it, felt like it, looked like it first thing this morning. Becoming more Colorado like as the morning progressed

Snowpack

2" new this morning. Looks like a bit of fog last night. Might have kept the snowpack from seeing a good freeze, though it was cold near the summit of the pass when I was talking to the plow drivers. Lower layers showed minimal sign of perk columns, & generally wet snowpack
