Two obs - two days ago I was poking around Mosier Creek drainage.  Weird thing was that there was no wind impact - no drifts and snow was still on all the trees.  Other than that, super weak snowpack with lots of collapsing.  In fact at the lower elevations, snow pack was ~24" deep and my dog was breaking through all the way to the ground (she is about 60#)

 

This morning I was up in Bear Canyon - only about half the snow (4") as on the south side of town by SMS.  Pretty bullet proof layer under the new snow, but it seems it came in wet enough that it adhered well.  It wasn't even sluffing off at the break over points.  Snow was not done at that measurement as it was still dumping when I left around 6:30.
