Poor Snowpack Structure

Echo comments from other observers from the area (with just a high elevation snowpack we are all packed into the same terrain). Although the late November facets are still there...lacking a slab at the moment. Was encouraged to find that the Nov facets do appear to have strengthened somewhat from the beginning of the week, as others mentioned. In stability tests, there were no clean sheers on the November facets in my quick pit near Cardiff Pass (N facing, 10K', CT13Q3, ECTN15). Do wonder if some of those gains will be reversed with coming cold temps, particularly in areas that did not receive as much snow. Also wonder about faceting near the surface at the numerous new snow/crust sandwiches. Hopefully little storms will keep coming enough to avoid both.
