Forecast Addendum - 02/22/2022 - 07:00am

Submitted by abeverly on Tue, 02/22/2022 - 6:38am
Recent Observations: 

A beautiful, cold snow began to fall yesterday around noon. It looks like we may have a couple of new inches up at the Old Ski Bowl now. Castle Lake got about 1/2 of an inch.

Temperatures have steadily dropped from 20 to 8 ºF. Wind chills dropped to -5 ºF. Sustained northwest winds reached 31 mi/hr and gusted to 55.

If you like skiing on cobble-stones, you would have loved conditions yesterday. Snow surfaces are hard and roughened by wind, sun, tracks, and dirt. Below treeline, wind-felled tree debris is everywhere. Above treeline, there is plenty of exposed ground and rock. Though the new snow may have smoothed things out a bit, it will not have covered obstacles. See the picture below of the state of the Old Ski Bowl as the storm was beginning.
