New Snow

Problem #1 Comments
About 6 inches of new snow overnight, along with some wind loading in some areas. Overall the snow seemed heavier on bottom and lighter on top, finally a storm that came right side up!
Interested to see how this new snow effects the coming storm next week.

Problem #2 Comments
As the day went on the snow became significantly wetter. Multiple small wet slides were observed around rocky outcroppings.
Comments
In two extended column tests I was unable to cause any significant results. The snow seemed quite stable, save for the loose snow up top.
