Snowpack

An unreliable interface at the new/old snow level noted today on W>N>E aspects ATL, particularly NE. This reactive new snow was propagating considerable distances and was easy to trigger. This interface should be noted as it may not heal quickly. While only 5” of storm snow has fallen it has formed pillows on NE rolls that can be of significant consequence if above hazardous terrain.
