Comments:
Cunard/Brodie area (Baker Creek Chutes?): JW and CR's group saw it happen around 3 PM, appeared to be a little dribbler coming out of the rocks up high
None reported
10-15cm of F recent snow above well developed Nov drought FC layer along the road, no slab yet at lower elevations. Some nice 1cm buried SH (upright, intact) at the top of the FC layer (12/11 or 12/13) on N-NW roadside slope at Boyer Gulch - hunch is the SH is fairly isolated to creekside locations as we haven't seen it in other Baker obs out of the main drainage.
