A Warm Start to a Good Storm

The wet, warm, and windy pattern continues this morning, but change is coming.  The radar is painted in beautifully with full coverage of precipitation across northern Utah.

Even Wendover is getting rain.  Temperatures are balmy.  It was 30ºF at Alta-Collins at 7am, but fortunately cooled off a smidge to 27ºF by 8 am.

At 8am, the base of Alta was 34ºF.  A hard-shell day for sure.  Down a bit lower, a mix is falling on the hungover Sundance types in Park City where the roads have a veneer of slush on them.  

As discussed on Thursday, temperatures will fall today and we should see a transition in the water content of the snow to give us a nice right-side-up snowfall and some great skiing tomorrow.   Pity that I'm home with the virus from hell.  Get a core shot for me.  There will be plenty to be had.
