Nice Day.

Turned out to be a pretty nice day today.  Crisp.  A brief period of rain around 9:15 this morning, but other than that, dry.  And when I was up at 3AM today getting water from the sink, I noticed stars.  I checked the gauges this morning, and we only got 4/10th of an inch here on the Westside.  Love Creek got about 8/10th.  All in all, as expected, but when it was coming down hard last evening, I thought we'd end up with more.  It really did move swiftly. Anyway, cool out there now, in the upper 40s.  It was cool this morning, and did not hit 50F until 10:30.  Tomorrow will be much of the same, but will have more sunshine, and will, hence, feel warmer.

One more of last week's snow.  Covered Wagon was smooooth.

The next few nights will be cold, in the low 40s in town.  Some of the local inland hollows could see some freezing temps.  Tie Gulch was at 35F for a while this morning, and we had some cloud cover.  It will be more clear tonight, and colder.  More so Friday night.  Saturday bring us back into the 60s, and Sunday and Monday look warm even.  Still, upper 60s at best.  Then, as forecast, we hang in the mid 60s the rest of the week.  Overnight lows hang in the mid 40s.  This could go on for some time.

In other news, the ski resorts received from 8 to 18 inches of new snow, depending on elevation and location.  While this was not the much needed mega storm, parts of the upper mountains are starting to be much more in play.  Kirkwood and Rose have a good coating top to bottom, and at least the rest of the resorts now have some natural snow at the base. It should be a busy weekend up there.
