Observation: Deep Canyon

This area had a range of new snow totals over the past couple of days from a trace of graupel at about 5000' to 3-4" of new snow and graupel above 6500'. This new snow became damp by mid day on all aspects at low elevations and likely mid elevations as well. At low elevations many solar slopes are dirt. Snow depths were variable in this area from dirt to over 150cm. The new snow setup at mid and upper-low elevations was about an inch of new, damp snow with a soft about 1-2cm rain(?) crust above and with about 1-2 inches of rimed stellars and graupel topping it off all sitting on top of a stout and supportable crust.
