Lots of large surface hoar everywhere. Conditions got rowdier in the trees as the day progressed due to shedding ice/snow from solar/temps. The south facing grassy slope got hammered with sun and heat. Enjoyed a tarps off kind of day with the inversion Hoar on top of crust turned into more like spring shmoo on top of crust.
