Snowed over 30 cm of snow over last 3 days but melted down to 15 cm which is on top of 24 cm of pencil hard facets on top of 35 cm of pencil hard rounds with a 1 cm layer of 4 finger facets above a deep layer of pencil rounds. Did two CTM 15 RP down 34 on facet layer. Did DTTH 25 TP down 69 on 1 cm loose facet layer.
