Weather

Cloudy and very warm overnight as it only briefly dipped below freezing for a few minutes. Strong wind followed by very light, though dense, snow with 1" new and water 0.09". Snowing lightly now.

Snowpack

Was up in Rustlers Gulch over the weekend. South slopes mostly bare- it was far later than i have even been able to go in there as usually it is unsafe. Level ground snow not too bad but north facing and shaded areas are rotten. Through Nov. this is the least snow that has fallen Sept.→Nov. and least snowpack (4") on Nov. 30 in the 39 years i have records (and the first 2 years, though no records, there was much more than this as well).
