Snowpack

The snowpack along the 145 corridor continues its gradual shift towards a more spring-like regime. The snowpack remains stratified, but is mostly isothermal in all but the northerly facing paths. Warmer temperatures and ample sunshine have affected southerly lower elevation terrain the most, with volume slowly decreasing and rock/earth showing up in the paths closest to Rico. Northerly facing paths as well as those closer to the top of Lizard Head Pass continue to hold enough snow to affect the highway.
