The majority of east Kessler released during the storm on Friday. On the bed surface, there is 8" of snow, then the rain crust, then more snow from Sunday. With the new snow on the bed surface, this was effectively hidden from view from the BCC highway. Suspect numerous other slopes around the central Wasatch did the same thing early in the storm.
