{"blocks":[{"key":"8p5pg","text":"Freezing rain with the recent storm has created a thick rain crust (or two) up to 2000m in many regions of the forecast area.  Its distribution and extent remains unclear - especially in the Northern regions - but we believe it is widespread in the southern portions of the region and reports of up 1- 5cm thick near tree line.  In some areas there are two rain crusts: a thin crust near the base of the recent storm snow and a second thicker crust near the surface.  See this MIN report from near Crowfoot Mountain & this MIN report from the South Columbia near Hall Mountain.  From the fare north region comes this MIN with reports of Rain up to 1500m.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":477,"length":3,"key":0},{"offset":523,"length":3,"key":1},{"offset":617,"length":3,"key":2}],"data":{}},{"key":"bk56p","text":"Recent storm snowfall amounts of 20-40cm overlie a widespread large surface hoar.
