Snowpack

I dug two pits, one near the crown of a SS from early March and one lower in undisturbed snow half way down the slope. the upper pit was in 90 cm of snow and generally weak. All fist hardness, wet grains until the bottom 30cm or so, then it turned to rounds that were 1F. Temps corresponded to that as well with the upper 60cm near 0 deg C. and the bottom bit around -1 deg. Bottom pit graph is attached.
