Clear and cold. Temp at Rabbit Ears Snotel was 17*F, no new snow in last 24 hrs at Snotel site.

Snowpack

Snowpack is getting deep and starting to round off. Bottom 70 cm were still faceted, old crusts in this layer were still detectable but decomposing and not much different in hardness with the rest of the layer. Bigger concern was a crust/facet combo at about 100 cm. Still no slab formation below treeline.
