Notes

From obs: "Was out today and found buried surface hoar 10-15 cms down. Some previous natural activity on this layer on steeper north aspects with very shallow soft slabs, but mostly dry loose at this point. Not much slab formation since the last ppt event. This could be a problem when more snow and wind in the next few days."
