Weather Comments
Winds were cranked.
Found this interesting because, not only was the Northeast ridge of this blown clean of all snow, but the local terrain was moving snow from west to east in what were cranking South winds recorded at DV Baldy directly adjacent and WNW Winds at DV Empire about 2 linear miles away. A great example of Patty Morrison's 2004 ISSW study and paper on mountain winds. https://arc.lib.montana.edu/snow-science/item.php?id=1079
