Storm was tapering and variable throughout the morning. Snow was <1cm/hr but relatively steady. Wind was primary game today. Wind was transporting snow from NW to SE, with depths varying from 55cm to 100 cm
Snowpack
Wind slab (~10cm) on storm slab (~10cm) for about 20cm of newer snow. This was atop a fairly consolidated melt form "slab" that comprised most of the rest of the snowpack. This meltform had a few ice crust layers within it, at 20-21cm and at 35-37cm. Between the 21-22 layers there were unconsolidated melt forms that were a failure point when pulling on blocks after performing tests. Keep an eye on the above and below ice-crust layers. The bottom of the snowpack has damp melt forms that are pretty large and may have gone through facet -> round -> melt form process. Ground measures out a touch warmer than freezing currently.
