- Red Flags Comment
- <p>Wind was the biggest red flag today. The winds were moving a lot of snow and loading and cross-loading a wide range of aspects. </p>
Winds were creating sensitive drifts.
Traveled from 7400-10,400, north half of the compass.
Winds were the big factor today, moving lots of snow from a variety of directions, loading and cross loading slopes.
Graupel pooling below steep slopes should be something to keep in mind in the near future.
Solar influences will be a factor between storm impulses. More winds will be something to keep in mind as well.
Moderate to considerable danger depending on elevation and aspect.
Snowpack
6"-10" of light density snow above 9K. 4"-6" below 9K. Snow fell on a variety of old snow surfaces but new snow was bonding fairly well with those surfaces.
