- <p>None, I was in the foothills. Still not sure if there is enough in the high elevations for hazard, but with the accumulations from 3 storms it is worth paying attention in the future.</p>
HS approx. 8" , HST approx. 4'. No faceting at this location. Trees were covered in rime but I did not observe a rime crust. Would be worthwhile looking for one if anyone is in the upper elevations.
Photos of rime on trees. At 1st I thought it might have been freezing rain but on closer inspection it was rime that went through a melt-freeze cycle today.
I think I am safe saying no danger in this area.
Note: Dead Horse Pass is named after a dead horse that went lame and was put down by a hunter, luckily it is almost completely covered by snow.

- <p>Normal caution for a thin snow pack as well as for driving on slick muddy roads.</p>
4" new at 7500. Snow line at about 6000 on shady slopes at the end of the storm. It looked like it was raining up high yesterday.
