more storm snow fun

<p>went back for seconds, still found plenty of fantastic lines sun didn't show today, so despite warmer temps than yesterday (roadside was -6 in am, -2 on return) the storm snow did not get heavy or cohesive, wasn't slabbing up at all. light to mod snow all day, maybe 5cm accumulation. if more snow accumulates tonight it could be upside-down over friday morning's snow HST; a lot HS; 165 did two separate ECTs, 33 degrees +/- , ENE aspect at 2100m first test yielded 14 SC with moderate propogation, no results after second text yielded 17 RP with minimal propogation, no results after both failed 95 up from ground, 70 down from surface, looked to be on facets from late december or early jan. other than that no instabilites noted, but after mod SC results stayed in the trees and avoided the higher consequence lines</p>
