Weather

Cold and windy. Mostly clear skies. Winds strong along ridgetops and in open areas.

Snowpack

Storm snow settling despite the cold temps. Lots of winds transport from variable wind directions....NW to SW. Storm slab is binding better to old snow surface on East side of Divide as compared to observations from Mon at Berthoud Pass. Crust left prevalent in Indian Peaks. ATL, snowpack largely scoured clean with 2+ days of string westerly winds. More loading near treeline, and decreases BTL.
