Clouds, sun, breezy, mild. For winter lovers a rotten 3 day stretch.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

  • The microclimate has been microclimating this week. While holding mainly 30s the entire week with the exception of a few bumps to the 40s, today 50s caused the most melt of the week, and the area still has about the best snow cover of the area. At 3pm a 6-8″ depth still existed. Glade Run was running very high and out of bank full.

Take a look at the temp comparison through the week in the high protected valley vs nearby ridgetops
