I am guessing this released during the storm on Wednesday night. Saw it from the north side of Red Pine Lake and with flat light it was hard to guess the exact dimensions of it. I'm confident it was deeper than just the new snow. Judging by the layers I saw in the pit I dug near the lake, it likely failed about 3 feet down on the super weak facets above or below the rain crust.
