Snow Characteristics Comments
The snow today was slightly spongy. Sunday's super light density snow was capped with a higher density, wind-affected layer on Monday day. Monday afternoon and eve returned to lighter density. By today, it seems like all the new snow had settled quite a bit and the density difference was less apparent.
