The story is the wind. Strong southerlies have been blowing for the past several days and last night they bumped up another notch. They'll continue to blow today in the 20-25 mph range with gusts in the 30's. Skies will be mostly sunny and high temps will reach the upper 30's. Conditions will remain dry through midweek with the next system currently working its way down the Pacific coast. We should see some more snow Wed-Thu but details remain unclear.

2"-4" of snow fell on Friday accompanied by strong southerly winds. I've been receiving reports of shallow cracking and wind drifting along upper elevation ridge crests. The snowpack is otherwise a mixed bag of surface conditions with crusts of varying strengths and thicknesses with some loose, sugary snow developing in shallow, shady, wooded areas.
