There's a reason it's called the Range of Light.

It's another pretty springtime morning at where it's currently 37f after an overnight low of 34f. Yesterday's high was 60f.

There is a chance of thunderstorms and rain through into next week. It would be nice to get some additional precipitation before summer starts.

There is still a little snow hanging around in the shadows at after this past weekend's snow storm where it is currently 27f. There might be some showers or thunderstorms later in the week but it looks like normal spring weather resumes today.

has a nice blanket of snow after yesterday's storm. We might get a bit more today and maybe even tomorrow. It is currently 30f which helps the snow to stick to the trees but the ground is warm after a month of spring conditions so the snow is melting from below and soaking into the soil.

It's snowing hard at which might be the last storm of the season.

The rain gauge hasn't recorded anything yet because it's too cold to melt and fall into the tip bucket. The temperature is 32f.

It's hard to see but it's snowing at right now where the temperature is 32f. Depending on how the weather shakes out today, there'll either be 2 inches or 10 inches by this time tomorrow.

While it's spring at , we're still getting frost in the meadows most mornings. The overnight low was 30f after a high yesterday of 60f.

There is a chance of snow and rain at the start of the weekend. We'll see if that comes to pass.

It's a chilly 20F at . Yesterday there were several snow showers that moved through but today should be good weather. We might not get any new precipitation until summer thunderstorms in July or August.

About a foot of new fell at at the tail end of the storm overnight after about 2" of rain. It's currently 13f under a clear sky.

There's a chance of snow showers the next day or so but then after that it's looking like clear spring weather.

Was this the last storm of the season?

After a bit over 2" of rain yesterday, received about 2" of snow overnight. It is now 20f under partly-cloudy skies. Today the meadows might receive up to a foot of snow. The next band of moisture should arrive in an hour.

For the water year we're around 40" of precipitation. I don't have an exact number because our automated weather station has no way of measuring snow moisture so it's estimated

It's 20f this morning at this morning. There is no precipitation in the forecast for at least the next week. It looks like we'll have cold nights and above freezing days through the end of February.

got about six inches of snow yesterday and overnight. This is the first moisture since December 24th. The overnight low was 26f and it is now 36f.

The weather forecast calls for snow showers through tomorrow night and then another potential storm coming in Friday night.

Hopefully we'll get a strong series of storms to get us back on track for the water year.

It snowed a couple inches overnight at ! Yesterday it rained about a half inch before switching to snow.

The overnight low was 18 degrees after a high of 48 degrees yesterday.

There isn't anything else in the forecast for the next seven days though.

It's a wintery mix at where it's currently 32f and has been since last night. 0.6 inches of precipitation has fallen since last night mostly as rain. The meadow is at 6000 feet so I'm guessing the snow line is 6500 feet.
