Observed a significant crown from my living room this morning on the hourglass. Analysis on google earth looks to be about 150m wide, and based on distance away (9km) I assume it is over 50cm of depth. Predominate wind transport from last few days have been from the SW with plenty of visible deposition onto this terrain feature. sorry for the poor quality photo 9km is a long way away.
