Bitterly cold temperatures, +3F, and a five-inch snowpack covering 100% of the ground introduced the week. However, approaching the winter solstice, temperatures fluctuated but were on a warming trend overall. By Friday, all the persistent snowpack melted away but was then briefly replaced by a light confection of new snow. As of this writing, the only remnants of snow are a few drifts and some isolated shady spots. The gauge catch recorded 0.34 inches of precipitation, mostly from rain. 0.9 inches of measurable snow fell, likely more at the end of the week but high winds swept the snowboard clean of any potential accumulation. SWE was 0.04 inches. Monday’s snowpack measured 5.0 inches with 0.78 inches of SWE. Drainage ditches picked up some water flow and Hickory Creek is running well from melting snow and Friday’s rain. No flooding observed. The absence of snow, inconsistent temperatures, and high winds have inhibited outdoor recreation but indoor gyms are vibrant with folks going indoors for their cardio. Overall, conditions are mildly wet.
