Weather: Snowed most all day of the Sunday but lightly except for an hour mid afternoon, which was followed by an hour or so of moderate wind, which then let up. Hooray for that, though it moved a good bit of snow. There was 5″ new with 0.32″ of water. Light to moderate snow overnight becoming very light a couple hours before sunrise with 9″ new and water 0.49″, so the 24 hour total is 14″ new with total water a much more historical normal 0.81″ being 6% water content. The snowpack reached the winter deepest (and the current) of 63½”. Currently the cloud cover is- well, go ahead, guess, with light snow and no wind. Temperature range was a hgh of 36F and the low and current 17F. No visibility. billy
