Snowpack

Stable snowpack with no buried weak layers of concern. The primary concern moving forward is well developed surface hoar at the snow surface. If buried,I am expecting a nasty persistent weak layer. Upper elevation hoar size is 4-5cm tall while at mid elevation or in trees, the hoar is 1-3 cm. 

1.23.26 Update: Driving over LT Pass this morning there was a widespread rime event going on with potential to cap nd preserve the surface hoar. I will go out this weekend to test this theory.
