New Snow Depth Sensor on Sawtelle Peak
Date
Ian and I completed the setup of a SNOdar snow depth sensor on Sawtelle Peak in the Centennials. Located at 8800 feet elevation. The sensor will record total snow depth and 24 hr snowfall. Data will be displayed on our website soon at: http://www.mtavalanche.com/weaterh/stations/sawtelle-snow.
The snowpack is non-existent in this area. I think the only snow I could see was the north summit snowfield on Lone Peak from the drive.
