Description of the Day:

The day started with some barely moving high altocumulus clouds, clear ridges, no ground winds, and a freezing cold -15C temperature. The clouds gradually cleared until noon, when cumulus clouds started moving in from the northwest. These built up gradually, until 17:00 when light snow started falling, the ridges were obscured, and the count was abandoned. A "high" temperature of -4C was recorded at 16:00, though it felt colder due to the wind now blowing strongly down the valley from the north.
