Weather

VERY windy day. Averaging 40-50 mph and gusting into the 90's. Increasing airborne dust/dirt throughout the day. Freezing levels at 12,300 and above.

Snowpack

Visible dust on all snow-surface layers. Wind transporting snow at ridge top levels. Looks like some loading in isolated area, but likely sublimating back into the atmosphere.
