Weather

Warm, calm, sunny day. Temps were above freezing all day.

Snowpack

Generally 30cm HS over all. 3cm settled HST in tracks from previous storm. Wind-pressed, continuous snow exists on all N-E aspects near tree-line. Wind-pressed snow NTL is more continuous that ATL and maybe more of a lingering concern than ATL. 4cm of moist snow was on W and S asp today. Solar input was strong and ambient air temperatures remained above freezing for our entire day in the field. Pinwheeling was present on W and S BTL. All but the most protected, N though NE slopes will have a crust on the surface tomorrow NTL and BTL. This includes SE through W, ATL.
