Quick report
I drove up and down the forecast area looking for natural wet loose or persistent slab activity to verify today's forecast.

- Well above freezing
- Cloud Cover
- broken
Broken stratus clouds all day, but not overcast like yesterday likely lead to less greenhouse effects today. Calm wind.
Snowpack
Wet snow on all aspects below treeline that hold snow cover. Some skiers in Virginia Lakes told me the snow on northerly slopes near treeline was already wet when they started this morning.
