  1. Was up looking at Chair Peak yesterday (thursday). Although the Alpental telemetry site said that the temp warmed with elevation, the only place where the snow was soft was in the sun. The north face had very little coverage compared to usual, 1/2" of very clear ice...way thin, little snow. So in spite of what the temperature sensors were saying, the inversion didn't seem to be as intense as they said, although it was warmer than down in the valley. My thought is that the pressure-differential generated wind which keeps the passes cold by bringing air from the east side was also flowing up into the valley and reducing the inversion effects there. cheers,
