Lots of rain from Saturday. Conditions on Sunday morning were very wet. Strong winds and warm conditions ment the snow surface was very wet. The snowpack feeling the effects of this recent rain. The strong temperature gradient seen over the past few weeks has disappeared. Some of the facet layers have morphed to rounds so the snowpack is becoming stronger. We had medium CT test on buried surface hoar at 28 cm. Around lunchtime the rain turned to graupel and then finally snow at about 2 : 30 pm. By the time we arrived back at the car there was 5 cm of new snow on the ground  ​​
