An awesome day on Temple normal route today, clouds dodging around the peaks, warm, no wind. Snow in the past 24 hrs, a skiff in the meadows but boot top on the summit ridge with drifts up to shin deep. Settling and melting today but the next few cold mornings expect verglas on the cliffs and slick snow on the packed trail from the crowds, crampons might be an option.

Fay is snowy again after looking grey and icy a few days ago when I was on the Grand Sentinel. Don't expect it to look inviting for too long with a return to clear skies and warm temps.
