Comments
Tons of storm snow to go around. Lots of large, creepy whumpfs and one particularly upsetting cracking settlement in open areas BTL on southerly aspects. Presumably on buried SH or Facets.
Doesn't seem to be much cohesion in the storm snow outside of exposed areas but with this massive load lots of features have run naturally to sz 2. The north side of Rudis won the notables contest with the line just downridge of Mainline pulling out and running it's full path to the start of the Christmas trees. Oodles of fun as well as danger out there.
