At 2260 meters the temperature was +1, winds were 0-10 KPH from the WSW. At 1650 meters the temperature was +.5, no new snow. In the valley it was -9. Observations taken at 06:00 hours.
For the forecast yet another day like all the other days in the past week. Stars are out this morning so there is a good chance it will be mostly sunny skies today. The strong ridge of high pressure is still looking like it will make an exit on Tuesday. A weak front will give us a few centimetres early Wednesday morning, moderate snowfall on Wednesday with the possibility of 10-15 centimetres by Thursday morning. Light snow on Thursday (2-4) with moderate snowfall on Friday into early Saturday morning (8-10).
