Low -8C, high -5C
Eastern ridges mostly 80 to 100 percent obscured all day, western ridges mostly 90 to 100 percent obscured, wind north 0 to 10 km/h in the morning, gusting to north 30 km/h later in the afternoon. Scattered snowflakes fell all day. I left the site at 4:35 pm after both sides of the valley had been completely obscured for a couple of hours and snow (not just scattered snowflakes) was starting to move in from the north.
