After receiving another 1.5" of snow yesterday before it started to warm up the overnight temp only got down to 31 and formed a crust on the snow that had fallen, it has now started to rain lightly but enough to soften up the snow. This will help to compact it down and already had compacted to below 7' as of yesterday. The road out here was groomed on Monday night and there was 3-4" of new snow on top of the grooming and only a couple of sleds had been on it as of yesterday. Today it is already 32.5 and climbing so we are back into the thaw/freeze cycle possibly, we'll have to see. The snow in the trees is melting quickly but overall we are in pretty good shape we still have more twice the snow we had just last Friday.
Except for the rain causing sloppy conditions things are good , just have to see how much settling the snow does with the next couple of days since rain is forecast through Friday. The good thing is the water content of the snow even before this latest snowstorm was at 35-37% density which is good for spring runoff. Get out and make the best of it just take something to dry off with. Peace
