Snow and Weather
Current Conditions: The central part of the Skyline picked up a few inches of snow this morning. I don't see any accumulation on the north end. Temperatures barely made it into the teens Tuesday and were in the single digits overnight. The wind has been from the north and just slightly northeast. It's been light to moderate in speed. A little stronger along the highest terrain.
Mountain Weather: The second half of the storm is moving through today. It'll bring the chance for snow through this afternoon with a few more inches of accumulation possible. Wind will be from the northwest with light to moderate speeds. Temperatures might not get out of the single digits. The rest of the week looks nice with plenty of sun and temperatures into the mid to upper 20s. There's a hint of a decent storm about a week away.
