Camera came out just 4 times today. Very poor visibility in frequent, more or less continuous, snow showers.

Old glide cracks from the recent meltdown.

Snowfall consisted more or less exclusively of hail and graupel today: good for exfoliating the skin on your face when walking into the wind…! A lot of snow blowing around but only accumulating in the most sheltered lee areas, mainly East facing.
