Notes

From obs [2/20/21]: "We observed a large natural slide on Flanders Mountain that likely occurred on Thursday (2/18/21). The crown ranged from 2-5’, but it’s hard to gauge how wide it was, because it covered a lot of elevations. I think there is considerable overlap with the large slid slide t ran there earlier this season. We did not observe any other slides, collapsing, or cracking, but the wind did pick up in the early afternoon."
