Snowpack

SNOWPACK OBS: 4-5” of new snow from Wednesday’s storm on top of old crust. Strong solar radiation and calm winds below treeline has warmed surface snow, with extensive rollerballs and pinwheels. No signs of instability, and new snow seems to be interfacing well with existing crust on south aspects.
