April 11 [Day 37] (George Halmazna) Moderate SW ground winds gusting to 35 km/h at 0900 produced the day's high temperature of 6.5C which dropped to 3C at 1100 as the ground winds abated and heavy snow fell. Ridge winds, however, remained SW-SSW moderate to strong throughout the day gusting over 100 km/h by late afternoon. Cloud cover was initially 50% altostratus and cumulus becoming 100% stratus after 1030 when rain and then snow developed and completely obscured the Fisher Range by 1100. After standing for an hour in the snow George relocated to Lusk Creek at 1200 where it was also snowing heavily with all ridges obscured, and finally gave up on the day at 1430 when it became obvious that conditions were not going to improve. Before the snow moved in, however, a total of 4 Golden Eagles (2a, 2j) migrated along the Fisher Range between 0902 and 0926. Also apparent at the site before the snow were fresh tracks of two wolves that had earlier moved towards the south. 8.16 hours (423.32) GOEA 4 (2861) TOTAL 4 (3107)
