E winds at Carson Pass

E winds at Carson Pass today, stripping snow from E aspects and depositing it on W aspects. The small wind drifts were forming on a highly textured surface crust, and no signs of instability were observed by stomping on them. Winds were cool and prevented softening of snow on sunny aspects. In sheltered areas, surface snow had large plates and plated stellars, which looked a lot like surface hoar but were observed in areas that surface hoar wouldn't grow, like right under trees.
