Modest rain, and even some snow flurries, have dampened spirits can but haven't stopped the Safari. A real rain say, a half inch or more mess up the Safari. Mud is an exciting challenge for some people (expecially in bogs, where slipping cant lead to a fall). Around here, mud is just a threat as an unplanned night on the trail to avoid falling off the trail. It is usually dealt with by staying home for a day while it dries. During the Jeep Safari, mud and flood have (rarely) required a change of plans for some trails, but usually, substitute trails are available. four-wheeli- CB-1- 0 Secret Spire In spring, expect spring weather - when it is normal to have far from average weather. If we happen to find an "average day in early April, it will have a high in the low 60's and a low near 40, but the variations of spring could push those 20 either way.

Consider forecasts when making plans, but learn never to cancel plans because of a forecast. Published national maps tha show temperature and precipitation contours are particularly frustrating because they cannot be detailed enough to account for elevation conditions. (The topography around Moab seems to put us in a warmer pocket than surrounding areas.) When you do hear of weather conditions elsewhere in the state, it may or may not be related to ours. Ususally, we have less precipitation than the Salt Lake Area and are warmer by five or ten degrees, but we may be cooler would be glad than St. George by a similar amount. A Red Rock to look out the window for you; you can call (435)259-ROC(that comes out "7625" in numbers) for a very guarded observation. The family answering these days requests that calls be limited to 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Mountain Time, but be aware that they may be out sampling the rocks, especially during Safari week. K |
