Storm snow, up to 50cm has blanketed much of the southern forecast region. Previous mid-pack bridging over deeper instabilities is supporting the new load over the basal facets and depth hoar. This new load and bridging has not been significantly field tested, treat the snowpack carefully.
Poor visibility, treeline and above. Varied explosive results on the storm interface and on the persistent facet/depth hoar combos at the bottom of the snowpack. Obvious deep persistent release on Parkers Slabs produced size 2.5 - 3.0's; moving fast and leaving large impressive (~2m) crowns.
