Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

The new snow is sitting atop the january 12th rain crust, and also another, smaller rain crust from warm precip early in this storm. The storm snow is very well bonded to itself but not to the facets beneath. Given that I only had to jump a few times to trigger, it feels very reactive.
