Weather Forecast
No love for the weather gods this Valentines day! They just constantly let me down! Temperatures will be seasonally reasonable, -6 to -7. It's the cold dead heart of the wind making me miserable! Consistent moderate to strong south, sw-ly winds blowing any new snow (5-10cms) into oblivion.
Snowpack Summary
Cooler temperatures are stabilizing the snowpack. Solar BTL locations have a terribly variable un-supportive 10cm crust. Windslab building at BTL locations and intense transport in ALP occurring. Persistent slab TL-ALP in midpack. Weak midpack and basal facets exist. Suspect decomposed surface hoar down 40cm. It's distribution is uncertain.
