Red Flags Comments
Some minor cracking on slopes with fresh wind drifts. Surface hoar developing in some places. Total snow depth is highly variable. Seems like facets below the rain crust gained strength with the rain event but are still weak. Snowpit attached seems fairly representative for this elevation on NE aspects.
