Rain on Wet Snow

Not long after my post last night in my area of the valley it turned to steady rain.  It knocked the 30 + cm of snow back a little, but it made it heavy and hard to plow and shovel.  There was a lot less snow further west in the valley, but it warmed up to 3 to 5 C for most of the valley today.  Lots of fresh avalanches which came down yesterday could be seen between clouds.  Grizzly
