Weather:
Poor weather conditions kept me off the mountain today. Visibility was limited along with persistent rain and mist.

Predictions:
The first half of this week looks like we may miss some counting hours as a low pressure system remains over the region. Tomorrow morning we may be plagued by fog. Light rain is likely to start the day, with showers possible in the afternoon. Winds are predicted to be from the ENE and temps will remain cool and in the low 40's. It seems like a bit of a toss-up as to whether we'll get in some counting.
