    Blowing snow was observed yesterday. Isolated wind slabs could exist out there. Up to 4 inches of snow tonight could contribute to the formation of new slabs. Any new slabs will be small, but pay attention near lee areas. Shooting cracks, blocking, and hollow sounding snow are signs that wind slabs are nearby.
