Cold snow transitioning to hot pow from 0700-1100. Solar aspects had wet point releases while cold aspects were skiing stable. Mid-storm density change from Saturday's periodic sun was present on W-S-E. Some local underfoot collapses and surface hoar in AM. Most of today's observation will be ephemeral as sun and warming temps will likely lend to a more seasonable spring pattern this week.
