Snowpack

Snowpack along the 145 corridor is thin (<1m) and isothermal. Yes, isothermal. Lots of collapsing while I poked around on northwesterly terrain below tl. The structure there is very simple: ~30-40 cm moist "storm" slab (1F) sitting on ~30-40 cm large facets (F). Thick goo on goblets = not so stable, especially with ongoing warm temps. Last hard freezing temps on LH were the morning of Feb 12.
