General Observations
beautifully light snow is still clinging to 8:12 screwless cold roofs, building cohesion and waiting to go! Seeing widespread wind distribution in the upper elevations from the NE, localized in the mid-elevations, and most persistent in channel terrain funneling from the north. Hogs Back today at 2,500′, 5-15mph winds redistributed 8-18″ of storm snow into 4′-8′ wind deposits, overnight. Deposits released on contact with 45 degree propagation.
