After a windy, mild night that ate up the snow cover in many areas, only the sheltered cool valleys remained with snow cover. Cloud cover was dominant today, winds were very light, and periods of rain. Low lying fog at times due to cold waterways and ground.

Images below, experimental low lying creek bottom “Refridgerated Affect”.. Really illustrates how these type of areas hold on to snow cover longer than elsewhere. 1- they are sheltered from worst winds 2- cold heavy air off snowpack lays low, hard for the winds to keep it mixed out. Looking at the fluctuations in temps overnight is quite impressive, and also to note, the sheltered spot, did not touch 50 in the warm spell and spent part of the night in the 30s, while many areas were 50+. A snowcover remained yet at 4pm.
