Snowpack

Measured new snow amounts (2") were modest, but strong winds overnight easily transported the new snow and the recent low density snow (7" at 4%) from last Friday. Drifted accumulations of 24" were observed. Snow stability tests showed easy results on a persistent weak layer of NSF that the was the old snow surface.
