Snow Characteristics Comments
Not anywhere near as much snow from the New Years Storm at lower elevations in Wood Camp, but the snow is stating to fill in around the sage and it covers the rocks in most places.

Comments
Pretty good coverage at lower elevations, but the shallow snow was exposed to quite a temperature gradient during the cold weather at the end of 2019. Although it remains stable, and it is held together by crusts, the snow below has become quite weak and sugary. Snow profiles from slopes facing both east and west.
