Observations

Signs of widespread instability and natural avalanches in the foothills surrounding Wenatchee, some running down almost to houses below the slopes. Most appear to be loose dry slides within yesterday's storm snow, not scouring down to the ground. There may be some shallow slabs, it's hard to tell from my house at a distance.
