Evening Weather Update

We left the aerie at 9:45 AM to drive east to Deposit, NY and the Beaver Mountain offices. It was snowing like crazy at the time and an inch of wet snow was on the ground. It had rained much of the night. At the bottom of the hill (the Aerie is at 2100 feet, the major road in the valley is at 1400 feet), the temperature had risen enough that, while there was some wet snow falling, it was not accumulating on the ground.

It rained much of the way to Beaver Mountain and a goodly portion of the way back. On checking the rain gauge when we returned, I found we had had 0.9 inches of rain at the Aeire since yesterday.

The temperature is dropping again and we may be in for some snow showers for the next two or three days.
