With clear skies last night and a fairly decent refreeze went in search of corn in Cardiff Fork today. SE and S facing were ripe around 9:30am but didn't seem to last very long. Skied NE facing LSB first at about 10:30am it was close to corn but still a little firm, headed to the Ivory Rock Slabs NE facing next and hit it just right around 11:30 and with the building clouds it stayed good until 1:00pm, with forecasted cloudy skies tonight I wouldn't count on good refreeze tonight. Lots of old wet debris piles in Cardiff Fork mostly on E,W,NE,SE might be a good thing to remember if we do get a decent shot of snow in the next couple days.

Photos: wet activity in Cardiff Fork and some impressive debris piles, last one is from the rock slabs Marla's just about to the top of the slide for scale.
