Snowpack

12-15" new snow with a visible resistance and grain type change in the upper snowpack from the wind shift with DF's (moderate SW winds) under PPr (light NW winds). Increasing NW winds were visibly moving snow from the Cliffs to the brow and flatter terrain near the JPL weather station. Almost 6' of snow at the roadside study plot.
