Mostly clear skies all day, calm winds, no precipitation. Trace to small accumulations from the past 36hrs.

Snowpack

At Washington Pass, under a dusting (1cm) of recent snow, surfaces at middle elevations were frozen, very firm, and rough. There was likely slightly more recent snow at upper elevations.

I observed evidence of light wind affecting snow and shallow drifts at upper elevations near ridges. Some of this may be 3+ days old.
