Mostly clear. -9 to -5C. Mostly light W wind, at times S'ly. Relatively calm day.

Snowpack

Snowpack seems to be settling quickly. Below tree line, on non solar aspects, some surface faceting but a nice new layer of SH. I found two layers of interest. First, intact buried SH 18-24" below the surface on W'ly aspects. Also 10cm below SH, thin layer of older nsf's above a thin rain/drizzle crust. HS in sheltered areas is mostly around 125cm.
