Observation Details
Dug two pits. Witnessed a consolidated new snow layer over some facets about 12 inches down. CTN12/ECT28. Heard a lot of whumphing and saw some shooting cracks. Pockets of wind loaded and reactive snow. Somewhere between 15 to 20 inches of snow total. Snowfall this week may make that faceted layer more reactive.
