Snow Characteristics Comments

Would be nice to see a handful of storms like this with some medium to heavy density snow to start filling in things.

Red Flags

Poor Snowpack Structure

Comments

Will need to see how the old weak surface snow develops over time as the storms come in.

It is still dificult to get around with lots of hazards and thin snow cover. Some nice afternoon light as the storm was winding down.
