Clear sky light SW wind (Switched to more easterly wind later in the day)

Snowpack

Measured on a roll behind a tree that had evidence of wind deposition. 170cm snow depth. SE aspect. 11300’. CTH(22) 70cm down Q1. When probing the pack felt very consistent. In the calmer areas clear hoarfrost development (large crystals). Top of the ridge was moderate wind w/ rime development, but no real snow pack.
