Observation: Days Fork

Wind Loading

Poor Snowpack Structure

Some shallow pockets of windslab and fresh cornices that formed overnight. New snow seemed too wet and dense to be moved around much by the light-moderate winds during the day. The upper snowpack is a bit of a mess of layers of heavy snow, ice pellets/graupel, and soggy half-frozen crusts. We didn't do any formal tests, but dropping a medium-sized cornice on a NW facing slope produced no results. I would expect that any prolonged periods of sun or rain as this storm wraps up have the potential to set off some bigger wet slides down to the old snow surface from before last weekend's storm.
