Posted at 8:23am on Friday 15th March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Not all the official reports are in, but I'm off to hike in the woods--and it's a perfect day for it!
A big blue sky, a nice dusting of fresh snow (enough to cover up the kosa - the Gobi desert sands that blow in during the spring). The day is starting a bit cold, but it's going to be warm and springlike again (continuing our weather roller coaster ride).
Looks like a few days at least of sun and blue skies, before there's a possibility of rain. Hopefully which will disappear as we get into the weekend (enough gray ice under the snow! Time for spring skiing!)
