FYI more snow to come!

Mingus Mountain Road Update for Sunday, February 7, 2010:

Upper Mingus Mountain received 8” to 10” of snowfall on Saturday night & early Sunday morning.  The 104A Forest Service road has been snowplowed from Hwy 89A up to the Forest Service Day Use/Picnic area ¼ mile beyond the Mingus Mountain Camp.  The road has become restricted to single lane passage with this additional snow on most of the areas beyond the Forest Service gate.  Pull-off’s are limited.  Currently (5:30pm we are receiving mountain hail-snow but I don’t expect to receive much more new accumulation tonight.  Next storm with precipitation is expected on Wednesday.

The FS road up to the South sites continues to be plugged with heavy snow.  An unsuccessful attempt was made by someone yesterday in a vehicle & it appears to have bogged down within the first 10 yards & made a nice mess of things while backing out.  Sorry, but the additional new snow will just make it worse Southsiders…………L

Please drive safe up here, have a full tank of gas & keep those cell phones charged up!!!
