Snowing heavily, 6-8 of new accumulated throughout the day, cold, didn't take a temp.

Snowpack

3 ICT's, same location. 3 dragons in the snowpack. Layer 1 failed at an ICT 5 just under new snow. I was in the area the day before and a very thin zipper crust had formed. It failed on this crust. Non Cohesive layer above crust didn't come out. Layer two failed between 8-10 on different columns. Clean shear approx. 40cm. Last layer failed at the facets layer on the ground, about 90cm. Another clean shear. Layer two and three didn't fall out but came out easily with little energy behind them. Be careful out there.
