{"blocks":[{"key":"8afpg","text":"The weekend storm added 10 to 25 cm of snow to the phenomenal snowfall last week where the wed/thur/fri storm produced 50 (Kakwa) to 100 (Torpy) cm of storm snow under mild temperatures and moderate wind from the south, southwest and southeast. Most of the observations we're seeing suggest that the copious amount of storm snow arrived warm and is settling well in the cooler recent temperatures. The storm snow reportedly has very little slab property, but we're short on observations from more wind effected terrain.  This MIN from the Renshaw on Saturday really tells the story.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":526,"length":3,"key":0}],"data":{}},{"key":"fe2jt","text":"Last week easy sudden planar shears and widespread storm slabs were observed.
