Where can one find data on past freezing level? And for forecasts, is there anything other than the "Freezing Level AGL" of the UW models?

When dealing with warming-related hazard, I like to travel on days with lower freezing levels than the highest freezing level since any substantial precipitation, preferably by 2k+. Bonus points for a period of lower freezing levels between then and now.  It's not a sure-fire method, but it can help.

Clear nights for at least a few nights before a tour is another thing I'd prefer to see...

Quite a bit of illuminating information about the snow-pack deep down when you think about it: Chinook pass reports from Stimbuck--I think I get it--read it maybe it will click...

2 days ago, same location, very little change in conditions, other then it took another 500' to get to snow level..

Silver had good snow on the steep west facing pitch from 5400' to the lake. No slushy junk. Maybe other west facing slopes are similar?

mountain-forecast.com is seems pretty accurate.
