Another day chasing the fog around the prairies. At 10:30 it was 1*C at P2. Low winds most of the day with isolated gusts up to ~25km/hr. Around 12:00 we started to get some pretty big snow flakes; however, this was fleeting and didn’t last more than 10 minutes. The clouds lifted just long enough for us to walk over to crater lake. The good news is line above the lake is filling in, the bad is the small start zone above the put in is quite cross loaded (photo above, apologizes for the flat light). After 13:00 there was a drastic change to the snow surface in the alpine & TL. It became very moist and started to glom onto everything (see photo). Below 1250m there is a pretty fowl {2mm} temp/rain crust. There is a {2mm} temp/rain crust below
