I skied up to Muir last week, snowpack is insanely bad. We obviously know it’s bad at 5K feet from the obs but it’s even worse at 7-8K. It’s firmly second worst behind 2014-15 at Paradise and I suspect at 8K feet it might be worse.
Mountain snowpack should get a pretty decent boost the next couple days. Really need that. Doesn’t entirely make up for the bad winter but some well timed march and April mountain snows have really made a huge difference in what could’ve been an all time horrible snowpack.
It's not that cold. Well above freezing.
I just got inside after taking a walk in the rain. It's not uncomfortable, provided you're wearing a good winter jacket.
Ensembles are still all over the place. Can’t decide if the weekend low will clip us, then are split on how much it warms up next week. AI is more seasonal, EPS has more warm members.
Meanwhile, the light drizzle has turned to moderate drizzle.
