Clouds building from incoming storm, but high and decent light from S-W. Light winds. Cold.

Some pockets of standing surface hoar, but mostly dismantled by wind. Not since 2011 have we had such XMas pow pow!?

Not as much natural avalanche activity from past storm cycle noted up Spokane Creek as in the next two drainages north...no humans to test otherwise.
