This came as about 6cm of snows at tram summit elevations. Perhaps a little more up higher.

Winds were low-moderate out of the SSE.

Temperatures have been hovering very near to freezing which often helps for rapid settlement and bonding.

Todays forecast is for continued cool weather, clouds and rain.

Avalanche danger is LOW at this time.
