Quick report
There was a weak layer observed at 40 cm. An Extended Column Test and Compression test was performed. ECTP17@40cm, CT 15@ 40 cm, and a complete column failure at the observed ice layer with a CT20@ 1cm or near ground. Given our findings, caution should be exercised on North and East facing aspects as high winds and temperature fluctuations continue.
