Incline Lake Peak Observations

I made observations on Incline Lake Peak today.  Temperatures were above freezing with thick cloud cover down to around 9500' in the late morning.  Near surface facets were present on Northerly terrain with soft snow conditions existing in most areas minus places with tree drippings.  These near surface facets were moist and could be clumped into a snowball.  Changing aspects towards E presented more variable snow surface conditions with sun crusts.  Limited surface hoar was found throughout this area today with most being small in size.  The clouds cleared out with the sun coming out in the early afternoon with temperatures cooling to below freezing.
