I posted this on the reddit page for climbing, but thought I'd share this question here as well.

Planning to get out to Joe's on March 8th, and saw some current conditions looking real cold and snowy. Any thoughts about the likelihood of this trip being worth it? We are planning a backup plan of Moe's or Roy if Joe's is too snowed out still. Hoping to climb a good bit in New Joes when it's more snowy, and then the forks when it warms up

Obviously too far out to be guaranteed, but just thought I'd ask!

It's absolutely awful out there man, just go somewhere else. Roy will be good, Moe's will be rad. Multiple inches of snow, tons of rain accumulation, almost no sun. No way it'll be even close to dry anywhere in that range, sorry to say...

That's what I was thinking. Thanks man! Appreciate it.

NWS Salt Lake said yesterday that rain is expected Friday and possibly Friday night in STG, so Moe’s may be a problem. Hope you get lucky and they’re wrong!

Joe's temps are starting to look good has anyone been around there recently to take a look see?

Go here. Click "Cameras". Look at camera by Joes valley, particularly the foot hills direction image. Looks cold and snowy.

Literally 13 inches of precipitation in the last week and 4 inches of snow expected today and tomorrow!
