Weather

Overcast "foggy". 27F at 10am. Calm

Snowpack

Surface snow dry. 24cms of latest storm snow F to 4F. 3cm decomposing mfc at 24cm from surface. CT14RP at this layer. Average HS 90cm of f to 4F resistance. I am anticipating loose wet avalanches in the new snow when skies and temperatures increase. It is possible these avalanches will scour deeper into the snowcover depending on intensity of sun/warming.
