This afternoon was wintry in the Currant Creek zone, with plenty of new snowfall, elevated winds, and relatively poor visibility. Winds were doing work, and plenty of fresh drifts could be found in the wind zone. A snowpit dug on almost due N ;) told the tale. While the new snow seems to have not formed enough of a slab to react on the old/new interface, it has reloaded the November snow, and propagation is not hard to find.
