Comments
What a difference one day makes. The warm air has arrived and in response the new snow settled very quickly providing mostly supportable conditions. The southwest winds overnight moved a lot of snow around. Cornices are sensitive. Slides seem limited to small pockets in steep north facing terrain that popped out during the storm cycle.
