was +11.00. Snow surface temp was 0 and temp down 10 cm was -0.5. Air temp
at 13:30 was up to +25, a bit cooler where glacial downflow is present.
With the hot spell and very short nights, overnight crust formation is
minimal and NOT lasting till morning. Some slab activity is also being
observed with this hot spell. This translates to generally poor snow
conditions.
