Miserable day here today.It was fog cold and snow, especially here at the higher elevations to the point, the roads around us are almost undrivable due to the snow and caused us to stay home tonight. Had there been a planned SAR search today, it would have probably been cancelled due to these conditions.

Unfortunately, NSR just called out about 45 minutes ago for 2 lost skiers on another mountain. Hopefully this search will have a better outcome.
