Observations

High overcast, NE wind estimated 10-12 in exposed areas, temp. 2 (Mission data logger) elevation 6000, east aspect. Significant wind transport throughout the area, unusual deposit features formed by the easterly winds. Wind deposits I tested were un reactive, but my sample size was small. Terrain exposed to the easterly winds were wind pressed and scoured.
