1ºF High Temperature Tomorrow on Mt. Shasta, CA at 12,000′ We were thinking of skiing Mt. Shasta on Tuesday and Wednesday. So I checked the forecast and saw that Shata is forecast to see a high temperature of 1ºF at 12,000′ on Sunday… Things don’t warm up much more than that the rest of the week so it looks like we won’t be headed to Shasta since that thing is […] Weather SnowBrains | June 6, 2020 1 Comment
