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.   

Tell your sister to watch out for the roof to shed!
