<p>Had one crack and one collapse today. Crack was on a wind drift and collapse was on a bush. Loose dry did run a bit further than I would have thought</p>

Only saw one of these today. Wind drift building from N winds starting to slab up. Wind was so faint it was almost unnoticable yet there was evidence all over the place of wind transport.

Loose dry ran a bit further than I would have thought. If you were aware of it, it wouldn't even knock you off your feet. If you weren't aware of it, it could potentially push you someplace you wouldn't want to be.

<p>Basal facets were garbage and pouring off of glove. Old crusts seemed supportable with up to 2+ft of relatively new snow. 2nd to last storm that came in warm was consolidating and the light density snow on top seemed to be bonding. </p> <p>South wind was making cornice's before the storm and now North wind is building in the opposite direction. </p>

11" but with no wind. Old snowmobile tracks still hadn't filled in yet. Micro winds made for interesting surface texture.  I rarely see such calm winds out there.
