December 5 [Day 97] It was a strange day for temperatures starting at 3C, quickly dropping to -6C briefly at 0945 and equally quickly recovering to 3C where it remained until around 1430 when it again rapidly dropped, reaching -13C by 1640. Ground winds were generally W-SW and light until noon after which they gusted to 25 km/h, and upper winds were moderate westerly changing to NW after 1500. Cloud cover was 90-100% all day but the mountains stayed clear until after 1600 when they began to disappear in cloud as light snow developed. Probably owing to the snow reported farther north raptor movement was very slow and sporadic, but the resident Golden Eagle family was conspicuous in the morning hunting the ridges and an adult briefly displayed once. 8.67 hours (1022.2) BAEA 2 (657), NOGO 1 (166), RLHA 2 (83) TOTAL 5 (8246)
