I dug a pit in my yard and noticed dust layers in my pit profile. This could be ash from Bogoslof. The 24" of dry snow above the layers fell before Christmas. How do I sample it? Your sampling procedure is unclear for this depth of sample location in a snowpack. I can send you a picture of the profile if you want it. Can I scratch out what I can with knife? I have a picture of my profile if you want it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE IP ADDRESS: 127.0.0.1 USER AGENT/BROWSER: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0 REFERRING PAGE: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/contact.php
