Quick report

Some signs of instability - no cracking today, but we traveled cautiously for 45 miles. Recent snow up to 20" of low density. Light winds under clear skies was still transporting some new snow. Overall we have a decent base in the open/flats thanks to the heavy wet early snow - and had settled during the recent warm spell. Thank you GNFAC! ~T.J.
