(No count conducted today)
Weather:
Today's count was cancelled due to inclement weather, which included, rain and sleet. Average air temp was 28.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and winds were predominantly from the NE at about 9 mph, as recorded at Portland International Jetport.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will remain unseasonably cold, with high wind speeds in the mid twenty mph range, and gusting well into the thirties. Wind direction will be mostly out of the east. There is also a high probability of rain predicted for the area as well. I suspect Derek and Jeannette won't be spending much time on the mountain tomorrow, if they make it there at all.
