Nowcast - With clear skies overhead a big, beautiful, Snow Moon cast amazing light on the Uinta Range. Winds near the high peaks ramped up at the turn of the new day and currently blow 25-35 mph from the west-northwest. We're out of the deep freeze and temperatures are about ten degrees warmer this morning than yesterday at this time, registering in the mid 20's °F from tip to tail .
Forecast - Expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the mid and upper 30's °F. Near the high peaks, winds blowing 25-40 mph from the northwest are gonna be obnoxious this morning, but decrease as the day wares on.
Futurecast - Partly cloudy skies and warm temps are on tap for Sunday with a dry, cool front slated to slide across the region to kick off the workweek. No storminess 'til we get closer to Valentines Day.

My half-full cup runneth over as the midweek storm delivered a shallow coat of white paint, coupled with bright sunshine, going a long way to improve the snow surface whilst bumping morale upward by a notch or three :)

Yesterday, in high elevation, alpine terrain, I was able to collapse several pieces of very hard, wind-pressed snow resting atop weak, sugary facets. The largest, a medium sized backyard, above-ground pool. Shooting cracks, loud whoomph, but the slab arrested... red flag structure for sure.
