Comments
Not much at all to add to the worn out conversation about our snowpack. Travel is still quite supportable and soft snow can still be found, especially in wind-sheltered areas. Today was about focusing on the current snow surface as it will likely have the weakest snow when we do get more snow and/or wind. With another week of high pressure ahead - including temperatures that are colder than we've had the last 7-10 days - the snow surface will continue to weaken and will provide a widespread weak layer.
