Comments
I observed the entire snowpack to be damp below 8800'. I did not look at the snow higher than that, too much of a blizzard. Snow temperature sensors on the KALF in Spring City Canyon at 9400' indicate that the pack was damp up to that elevation also. The sub-surface probe was about 15" up from the ground. (see table below)
Concerns for wet avalanche activity crossed my mind and would've gotten me more excited if I new the temps weren't about to cool off dramatically.
