Weather and Snow

On Wednesday, I found the newest snow to be very dense. Warm temperatures made things feel very much like a spring day with lower and mid elevation snow becoming damp. I did not see any recent avalanches nor did I experience any cracking of the newer snow. The wind was still blowing but not much transport was happening due to the very dense snow.
