Observations

Got back out for an evening jaunt after the warm precip ended and the sun, or at least bright light, made an appearance.

No remarkable activity seen, just a couple of D 0.5 crowns in usual spots on the summit S of Middle Kendall Lake.

As dusk fell and clouds rolled in, precip picked up again, with 1.5-3mm hard graupel clicking off our jackets for 15-20 minutes before the transition to snow began.
