Stormy weather has returned, and avalanche danger is rising. Three inches of dry snow have fallen uniformly near treeline, with locally deeper amounts of six to ten inches in leeward locations and depressions. The dry snow made for easy wind loading on west, north, and east aspects at light to moderate rates. New drifts and wind lips formed quickly, displaying minor cracking and blocking. In sheltered areas, the snow displayed dry-loose properties. Snow transitioned to rain at 4,500 feet.

Don't know why there are both Cm and Inches in the same chart. In any case 50 Cm is close enough to 20 inches.
