Comments

Went for a tour to check a new potential zone, snow is similar to everywhere else that’s been reported recently. Wind is coming in strong from the sw, and everything that’s solar aspect or exposed to wind is warming fast. Air temp at 1270 m was +4°. Lots of wind transport at ridgetop visible.

Just when we think we’re getting somewhere…
