NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. THERE WILL BE SOME

EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH LIGHT WINDS CONTINUING. A
VERY SLOW WARM-UP IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE

IN TERMS OF SNOW LOSS...IT WILL BE SLOW SNOW LOSS EACH DAY. WITH
TEMPERATURES FALLING BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT...IT WILL TAKE UNTIL
