Low visibility and obscured skies with brief visibility to around 4,700'. Rain was heavy in the morning and lighter throughout the day with brief periods of reprieve from the deluge. L-M winds mainly from SW with strong gusts at times.
Snowpack
@4400' found 15-25cm of wet MFs above the 3/12 crust. Water was pooling at this crust and making its way down through the snowpack past the 3/12 in vertical channels. Beneath 3/12 (now weakening and P hard from K hard yesterday) we found 20-30cm of moist, 1F to 4F hard melt forms. 3/8 crust is now 40-55cm down and pooling water. Beneath 3/8 crust, 15-20cm of MFpc were wet and 4F hard.
