[MCR] (no subject)

This morning in the Sawtooth Range of the Monashee Mountains (about half way between 3-Valley Gap and Highway 6 near the headwaters of the Shuswap River):

 

We were hiking to 2200m yesterday in shorts and t-shirts. Cold front came through around 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon and dropped temperatures from the low +20s to around +7 in a few hours accompanied by lighting, rain, small hail, and gusty winds. Intermittent showers of rain and hail overnight. This morning it's calm and we are in dense fog at 1600m. Temperature is +2. A break in the fog bank let me see overcast skies and snow down to about 2100m--hard to tell how much snow is on the ground at upper elevations looks like more than just a dusting.
