Morning y'all,
It's a beautiful, cold morning up top. The high yesterday reached 20 degrees. The overnight low was 3 degrees. It was 8 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The mountain received the liquid equivalent of .04 inches of snow. There is still a trace of snow on the ground and the trails are sure to be a bit slick. I would definitely recommend Microspikes if you intend to reach the summit. Get out and enjoy this beautiful day!
The blog will be on a little hiatus. I am rambling off to snowier mountains and the blog will return on Wednesday the 20th. See the following links for weather information...
