Comments
It was a bad day for squirrels out there today, not just because of the -27C temps but with widespread slabs being hair-trigger and fracturing 3-10cm deep. We must have triggered a hundred of these low density and low consequence storm slabs today. With more snowfall and wind in the forecast these slabs could potentially start to get harmful for humans too but we're a ways from that now.
