Weather

Rapidly increasing clouds. Snow began between 9:30 & 10 AM. Gusty around convective cells. Visibility would drop to about nil at times.

Snowpack

A good freeze last night. Found a decaying mid-pack Melt/Freeze crust. Otherwise, somewhat similar to what I found in 'Gulch' path on Monday though where I dug my pit was not quite as deep. Failures on stability tests were easier today
