It’s a step in the melting direction and no change in water content . If anything, some of it evaporates from the snow surface.
A rain or ZR event will knock a pack down too, but will get absorbed in to add more water content/density to the pack.
LEB was jumping around quite a bit too. You probably didn’t have to go far away from the ASOS to be closer to your -11.
Winni looks cold right now on early morning hour rad night IR. I’m not surprised LCI is joining the rad fun right now.
May not be many brutal rad nights if there’s a barrage of SWFEs. Again, CON should expect some -10s every winter so I hate to make too much of a big deal about it. Pushing 10 years now since the last -20…..
