Weather

Snowing most of the day, winds were moderate from 11am to 1pm, then backed off for afternoon. About 6" of new snow from 12/11, 3" of new snow today (12/12).

Snowpack

Not much wind impact on surface snow by the time we left at 2pm. Still getting shear results on shovel-tilt tests at buried surface hoar/facet layer (approx. 25cm down), but no results on compression tests (top 25cm still Fist hard).
