Morning y'all,
It's an aggressively stormy morning up top. The high yesterday reached 47 degrees. The overnight low was 38 degrees. It was 44 degrees and raining at 7am observation. The mountain received 1.22 inches of rain, starting after dark last night. There is just about no snow remaining up top. I'd expect whatever patches are left to melt out by this afternoon. The trails are sure to be super soggy, so be prepared for a wet day out there!
Last night was one of the more impressive storm displays I've seen this season. It rolled in late last night, but you could sense it coming all afternoon. The winds were impressive throughout the day, with clouds flying over from Cliff Tops towards the lodge like wispy fighter pilots. It started raining heavily just as I was turning in and I had a symphony of wind and tree noises whistling through my cabin as I passed out. The winds were strong enough to make me wonder about just what kind of gusts it'd take to blow the walls down... Even sitting still is an adventure in conditions like this...
