The Weather Service is standing by its prediction of rain before lunchtime today. I haven’t seen a drop all weekend, and even barbecued on Sunday because it was so mild out.
The snow level is at 6,800 feet and the temperature this morning is within 2 degrees of the forecast high of 46 degrees. The forecast calls for cloudy skies, rain and the wind shifting out of the north this afternoon at 5 mph.
