Expectations are, mins will be a tick warmer being influenced by tree cover and maxes overall cooler. At times significantly so. More so than what you would expect simply due to tree cover, as it’s a protected low refrigerated pocket with snowcover on. At times during the daytime, surrounding hilltops may run 50s while holding 30s at this location.
