Comments
Wide Spread Storm Slab cycle failing on faceted snow below Feb 12th storm snow on SE-E-NNE aspects. Bunnell's went wall to wall with all 3 bowls connecting (roughly 3000'). Big Springs - Big Bowls 1-4. A sub drainage in Bridal Veil at 9600' NNE ran part way down the drainage. Same with Davis Canyon. No vis in Shingle Mill or south. Our Bunnell's wx station lagged behind like Mid Mtn for most of the storm, but then ramped up on the 18th with 10" of snow falling in a few short hours with wind. Most of the Big Springs and Bunnell's paths are repeaters.
