Snow in the Swell?

Anyone been in or driven by the swell lately? How much snow is there out there? Not necessarily looking to do a lot of climbing - more of a camping mission. Any info?

roughly 4-6 inches on the ground, and melting (as of 1/10/11). There's a storm coming in hot though that might mix things up a little bit. We camped at the 'edge of the wedge', and drove down in the next morning. climbed the private pizza wall starting around 11am, and it was perfect. highs were in the low 20's, but we were only rocking 2 layers feeling fine. there was more snow in the triassic area than in lower buckhorn for sure.

bring your ice skates, and take a stroll on the frozen san rafael river!

Anybody know current conditions down there? I was thinking of heading down this weekend if the roads are passable and there is little/no snow....
