I woke up to slush and 34F this morning (disappointed), but as the sun was risen I could see that the mountain tops were heavily covered. Got up and drove from Murray valley to Jasper then west on State 74 to CR20 then south on CR 20 to State 327, then back to Jasper and then South on US 7 to State 16, then west on State 16 to 327, then home. It appears by topo map that the snow level is about 2,100 feet. What a beautiful day !! High should be in the mid-50’s on this February 13th.
The temperatures ranged at 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM from 38F in Jasper to 28F on CR 20 at the the top of Sherman Mountain, to 30F along US 7 and State 16, then 31F-40F going sown from Henderson Mountain to Murray Road and finally home. When I arrived home, the sun was shining on Reynolds Mountain, and a pair of Red-Shouldered Hawks were doing a mating flight in the exhilarating cold air with fresh snow below:
