The new snow was fairly dense when the storm started. Also, the wind has played a roll in drifting snow and forming slabs. Furthermore, there is some weakness in the upper layers of the snowpack.

Here are the bullseye clues I saw yesterday:

More snow fell overnight and the wind was still strong enough to blow snow.

All the pieces of the puzzle are there. It's time to step back.

I'm still concerned about avalanches breaking deeper into weak sugary snow from December. So far this storm, the avalanches that I've seen are involving only the upper layers of the snowpack. This is a good sign. We should know more about the state of the old weak December snow after this series of storms passes and we can look around. Hopefully we don't find any avalanches that break into the old snow and we can put that to rest. Until then, all bets are still off. You'll want to continue to avoid steep slopes until things stabilize.
