Dec 23(Mon)
Repeat. Stagnant, boring pattern. The only excitement is the unique local climatology. Mainly the valleys that decouple and drop off low overnight, to the more sheltered colder valleys that hold cold like a supermarket cooler in the daytime. Mostly in the areas with snow cover. While some areas run 50s, these areas hold 3ps under the calm conditions.
Also to note, patchy black ice in deep valleys this a.m

An example of afternoon temps in a more sheltered low area that really works like the supermarket coolers/freezers. This is while most areas were in the 50s
