Comments

It’s coming but it ain’t there yet! Snowed hard all day in Calazon, but there’s still only about 5-8 cm total over the doom crust from Jan; and travel suffered. Did note that the surface hoar was present and very large (14mm) down about 3 cm above the crust, and did see some cracks and a pocket pop out in a small drift, but mostly things are still the same below treeline until the snow stacks up more. Snowed hard pretty much all day, which is awesome!
