Strong SW winds throughout the day. Snowfall increased significantly in the afternoon. An additional 3.5" in 5 hours as of 1630.

Snowpack

Steady snowfall and strong winds are putting a rapid load on the recent snow. New snow is of a higher density than last weekend's snow setting up a somewhat inverted structure. Strong winds (even below TL) are only compounding this. Strong SW winds eroding snow on windward aspects.
