Well, at least the snow is wet and heavy indicating higher temperatures than the dry and light snow that has burned an image in my mind of those poor little birdies that became popsicles at your place last winter.
44 F here now with a high predicted of 57 F which indicates this basin will be socked in with a heavy cloud cover. Anyone that has come down Deadman's Pass in the fall and was enjoying the sunshine just to see what looks like a million acres of snow on the level and then just like that you are dropping into the clouds that envelope the basin and may for days or even weeks.
