The warm temperatures are good for settling snow and ultimately making it stronger in the long run. However, this warm up we're experiencing is not going to take care of all the faceted sugar at the base of our snowpack. It is probably going to make things trickier because it is adding a strong layer that will "bridge" the underlying weak snow. This might allow quite a bit of new snow to be added before the weak underlying snow under the bridge fails. The snowpack will not be as sensitive to people as it will be harder to break the "bridge" and get collapsing. Time will tell how this turn of events plays out. Continue to accept that the snowpack remains very weak at the base.
