Good morning from the hill above Schweitzer's ski village. Thursday arrives quietly on the mountain: the resort is between seasons, with no published ski report yet and opening day set for November 27. Sandpoint woke to a crisp 40 degrees under fair skies; expect a pleasant, partly cloudy day near 71, with tonight dipping to 44. This morning's radar sweep showed a quiet panhandle — no precipitation on the map.

Did you know that October is one of the quietest — and prettiest — months to be on Schweitzer Mountain? The National Weather Service has Sandpoint sunny and 72 degrees today, with a mostly clear night dipping to 44. Up on the mountain it's cooler, of course: sunny and 59 at Schweitzer today, with a 42-degree overnight low. Thursday looks much the same — partly sunny and 72 in town, mostly sunny and 58 up top — before a front rolls through on Friday with a chance of rain showers.

Well folks, I won’t sugarcoat it—it’s wet up here 🌧️. Temps ran high, the dreaded rain showed up, and it’s been blustery 💨. The national forecast for the week isn’t looking much better ☹️.

But we’re not discouraged! 🙌 Fingers, toes, legs, and eyes are crossed for colder temps and more wintry weather ❄️. So keep sending good vibes, prayers for snow, and maybe a little mountain magic. Here’s to manifesting East Coast weather (never thought we’d say that)! 🌨️✨
