Comments
Performed CT and ECT. Weather conditions were variable, rain at the start at the parking lot, then became colder throughout the day. Continued snow fall throughout the day
CT failed at easy approx 20 cm depth, at 3. Could not get the layer at 40 cm to fail.
23 deg slope.
ECT did not propagate across.
