SNOW
Morning from Cooke city. The snowman has put us in a winter storm warning from today till Friday afternoon. We could see 12- 24 inches of snow fall on the mountain.
I just got back from Nebraska where I spent 10 days from all the flooding that's going on. The cabin in Fremont was right in the middle of the floods. They are saying it was a perfect storm. Five levy's broke which caused more of the problems. I lost lots of items, including two cars and a flooded basement. I will be heading back in about 10 days. I've got a good month of clean up. I do have to say that I didn't suffer as bad as a lot of folks. Cattle, pigs and whole houses have been swept away. My thoughts and prays go out to them.
AVALANCHE CONDITIONS:
Avalanches are unlikely this morning, but will become more likely as temperatures rise and crusts break down. Near Cooke City, skiers found the new snow well bonded to the old snow surface. After a day of warm temperatures, this will be the case on most slopes. Still, as the day heats up, you could trigger small loose snow avalanches, particularly in areas that were cloudy yesterday but are sunny today. There may also be isolated pockets where you could trigger a wind slab avalanche.
Avalanche danger is LOW this morning and will rise to MODERATE this afternoon. ... See more
