Weather

Winds increased a bit and clouds darkened while I was out in the field. Occasional snowfall rates up to S-1. A few patches of blue were visible in the sky when I was leaving the office at about 12:30.

Snowpack

Slab over facets, with a melt-freeze crust and facet combo about 70cm above the ground. See snow pit profile for more detail.
