Observations

In the AM sun was out and warming was evident with tree bombs dropping consistently and the top layer was starting to facet a little. Storm slab from Friday night seemed to solidify with the warming. Midday the fog came in and cooled things off again. Compression test showed a CTE6 with the storm slab layer about 30cm deep. Light flurries were coming down mid afternoon
