Pockets with Moderate danger exist and you could trigger shallow wind slabs at the highest elevations on a few drifted steep north facing slopes. Carry your rescue gear and follow normal winter safe travel protocols.

Under just a couple inches of fresh snow you'll find very shallow yet mostly solid October snow on north facing slopes above around 8500', but coverage is quite thin and you should expect to also find rocks. We found the Tony Grove Road easily traveled yesterday, with only a short section of ice in the shade. But, remember that the road is not maintained for wheeled vehicles in the winter, and driving conditions are likely to rapidly deteriorate in a storm....

Last week we triggered surface cracking and a couple very small and manageable wind slabs in steep terrain.... Not much of a concern yet, but slabs forming on weak sugary snow just above the solid October base are likely to present some danger in the near future.....

Snowfall will tapper off today as the broad cold front exits the region and heads off to the east and south.... Expect a chilly and cloudy day tomorrow with another inch or so of accumulation possible tomorrow and tomorrow night. Next week we'll see a return to Fall high pressure and clearing.... Another round of snow is possible on around Veterans Day.

We're back in the office and we'll start issuing regular advisories when more snow falls in the mountains around Logan.......
