Comments
Obs location was in a wind effect area with variable HS depths of 50-120 cm. Snowpit had an HS of 100 cm and right side up. Air temp was -1.4, and it was snowing at S1 and bonding well to the old crust surface. Compression tests resulted in CTM 5 and 2 down 81 cm on 1-2mm rounding facets ( FCxr).
