Comments
Went to poke the bear that is the repeater slide on Silver headwall. Wanted to see if it had settled out before this next bigger snow event happened. It hasn't. Repeaters repeat. What surprised me about this one was that is looked like it stepped down and that turned a relatively minor layer into a lot more snow than I was expecting. The whole headwall will be littered with this set up. Perhaps after this next round of snow other areas like Days draw and the monitors will reactivate deeper than expected also.
