Periods of rain continuing overnight but somewhat less than yesterday. Snow water equivalent of the snowpack this morning down to 4.1 in. Temperatures quickly dropped to the low 30s by late morning, changing the last of rain showers to snow and then ending. Partly sunny and windy with temperatures falling into the 20s in the afternoon then a few more snow flurries after nightfall.

Total snowfall so far this winter has reached 112 inches, still 18 inches behind the long term average for this date despite February’s abundant total of 46.5 inches. See Table 4 below.
