Quick report

ECTX, the hard layer below the fresh snow was fully supportable, but seemed to have bonded very little with the new snow. It was warming quickly, snow was beginning to fall from trees and form roller balls at 10 am. No immediate signs of instabilities. New snow was drier and light, but warming quickly and beginning to become more cohesive.
