newSnow

Quick crude pit. approximately 1 metre of new snow on top of rain crust. Could not dig below rain crust to enable test at that layer, but the accumulated new snow above did not have any layers that sheared. The pit was not in wind blown snow. Drifting likely would have changed the result considerably.
