Persistent moderate to strong southerly winds, snow surface becoming heat effected on solar aspects to upper elevation where protected from the wind. No sign of instability, coverage remains shallow and variable at upper elev, primary concern going into this series of storms is weakened surface snow, finding 0.5mm FCsf and 3-5mm SH on upper N asp, not finding old basal snow to be a widespread issue.
