Was in the parking lot at weeping wall at 6pm today and watched a very large snow cloud pile out of the polar circus drainage.  Also observed a sz 2 avalanche in one of the paths across from weeping wall in late afternoon.  Significant wind transport all day with light snow.  Heavier snow fall amounts around murchison and bow summit.  10+cm on road.
