grant grant WI4 Registered: 11/06/07 Posts: 26	Overnight lows for the last week have been averaging -4oC at 1984m with daytime highs of 3.5oC. The forecast is calling for VERY warm weather in Jasper (17oC on Sat. and 14oC on Sun.) so out here I think that it will maybe get up to around 10oC. We have had isolated little snow squalls move in and out but no significant accumulation and the winds have been calm to non-existant. The forecast is calling for a 30% chance of flurries tonight and 60% chance tomorrow morning; I will see what develops and update as required. Remember to check the Jasper Avalanche Forecast here as it is sure to rise if we get temperatures expected. I also talked to a party who spent the last 6 days at the Alberta hut and they said that it was COLD COLD COLD up high but found the snow to be quite stable.

grant grant WI4 Registered: 11/06/07 Posts: 26	Overnight lows only got to -1.3oC at 1984m last night and it is already 3oC and sunny. Daytime highs are still forecasted to be 17oC in Jasper so somewhere around 8oC to 12oC for the Icefield region. Forecast also calls for strong winds gusting (up to 80km/h) overnight and into Sunday morning.
