More warmth!

The game for today is.... find any sign of snow having recently been here!

Presently the weather conditions at 9:00 a.m. are:

29.85" of Hg and steady;
37.8 degrees F and rising;
63% humidity and falling;
7.2" in the Cascades Brook;
USFS Fire Danger Class is NONE;
Steady breeze, blue skies with high altitude clouds.

The ground is very soft and wet.

The parking area is open.

I did a little back research with the National Weather Service up at the Airport to try and get a sense of just how strong the wind was that took out the tipi covering. The highest recorded wind gust for that period was 54 mph. Now wind speed is a very localized thing, and we aren't the airport, but that gives an order of magnitude as to what likely took it out. I can live with that level of iffy-ness, though the next time I may use a more durable material.
