Quick report

Limited visibility. I observed one avalanche in a middle-elevation meadow. 

Only saw one avalanche. See below. Visibility was great compared to the past week, but still pretty flat. I'm not putting too much weight into the lack of observed avalanches. Cracking and Collapsing is null as I was in my truck.

Broken skies, temps in the high 30s in the valley and just above freezing at the summit of the pass.

Snowpack

Serious rain-runnels up to 7500'. I stepped out of the car at the top of Galena Summit to poke the snow. The snow surfaces took heat at the summit level, even in the shade. Snow was somewhere between moist and dry. Snowballs were easy to form.
