Weather

Stormy morning with intermittent sun/clouds and thunderstorms. Some snow showers moving through. Snow surface still frozen.

Snowpack

HS 156cm. Snowpack was isothermal below the 10cm of frozen surface snow. CT4SC collapse below the dust layer 10cm from the surface. Below this moist wet grains make up the majority if the snowpack. There was evidence of some water pooling at the April dust layer/crust interface, however the snowpack appears to be draining. Culverts and creeks were running despite an ambient air temp of 2C.
