Quick report

Got some wind slab yesterday in Oakes, also warming and borderline corn on an old surface. New snow slabs appeared to bond well where if had warmed and did not shear. There was one positive hand shear with moderate force on a 6“ thick slab at the top of double barrel where the slab was thick enough to resist warming.
