Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Everything we observed today was failing on the buried Jan/Feb NSF below a 4F slab. </p>
To start the day snow on the north half of the compass was quite good. As temps climbed even the shaded areas started to show signs of heating. The south half of the compass was a mixed bag of solid and breakable crusts.
