A few centimeters of fresh snow fell overnight, but on the whole it's been a quiet Saturday morning. The cloud cover is thick and heavy, and although they look like it could snow at any second, for the moment they are quiet. The forecast for the day is mostly cloudy skies throughout the evening and into tomorrow, where we will see another chance for snow. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more snow showers made their way through the area throughout the day, but it doesn't look like we will be seeing any significant, new accumulations. It's currently a mild -7, and with the occasional break in the clouds, today is shaping up to be a fine one for skiing.
