Snow and Weather
Currently: Skies are clear and temperatures range through the 20's F. Northwest winds increased overnight with gusts in the teens and 20's mph at the mid elevations. At the upper elevations, winds are much stronger, averaging in the 30's and 40's with gusts in the 60's mph.
For today, sunny skies with temperatures in the 20's. The northwest winds will average in the teens with gusts in the 20's and low 30's at the mid elevations, while averaging in the 30's with gusts near 60 along the exposed ridges at the upper elevations.
Overnight we may squeeze out an inch or two of snow as a mostly-dry cold front crosses the region Tuesday morning.
Clear skies this past weekend has weakened the snow surface, with the 2-4" of snow from this past Thursday/Friday turning to facets and surface hoar. Although this means soft, dry snow can still be found on sun and wind-sheltered slopes providing decent travel and riding conditions, the snow at the surface may be a potential weak layer with any future storms.
