Site Humid 4a N: 74°44'01.9'' W: 94°57'33.5''. Snow depth (SD) =27 cm. Depth hoar layer thickness (DH)=18 cm. Presence of large depth hoar cristals (5-8 mm). Lots of grass, probably carex, on the ground. An ice crust, formed just at the edge of the deep hoar layer, is present as a result of the percolation of surface melt and refreeze water.
