Snow Report: Jan 29/12 - Snow and Rain

Good Evening,
Well it was raining lightly here this afternoon and evening. But it was snowing up top - you could see the frost line. Snow below 5500-6000 is very wet. Forecast is for plus temps all week between +1 to +6 by the weekend. Jeesh! But...avy report says that Monday night (tomorrow) we are supposed to get 15-25cm of dense snowfall and extreme winds out of the west. Another 10cm Tuesday. They call it a "Pineapple" system (warm/moist) is supposed to be here at week's end. So more warm weather with snow. Seems to be the theme. No matter what the temps do it still seems to snow a little bit almost every day. Just watch the avy report though - heavy wet snow on top of these weaker layers spells big trouble on certain terrain. Plan and know before you go. Cheers - V
