Good morning folks,

What a wild ride it was last night. Winds rocked with gusts upwards of 70-80 mph. I was glad to see the wind move out around 10pm. The high yesterday reached 47 degrees. Heat Wave! The overnight low only dropped down to 26 degrees. It’s currently 27 degrees with calm wind. We received 2.32” precipitation with 0” of snow. Almost all snow/ice is gone. There is still a thin layer of ice that has formed from the heavy rain and freeze thaw cycle. Micro spikes might be helpful in certain areas. Sun has returned just in time for the weekend. Y’all have a great day! SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

My 91st birthday is today, Feb 18,1931. I well remember my first trip to the mountain. I was in the Army at Fort Bragg. I wore my fatigues and my oldest pair of jump boots. Did not see anyone up top.I looked through the windows of the cabins. I remember seeing Hudson Bay blankets. It was in the Summer of 1951.
