Quick report

Cracking
Observed

Poor visibility of most terrain this evening. Got a couple flat light views of Climax Chutes, Schuylkill Ridge, Peeler Peak, and Axtell.  Axtell Green Lake Bowl produced a very large slide to the ground. Gibson Ridge had a fresh persistent slab that looks like it failed on 2/2 surface hoar (D2).  Numerous large drifts several feet thick along the valley floor behind houses, road cuts, cars, etc.  

Weather

Intense down valley snow drifting and occasional whiteout conditions at valley floor.
