big change in weather that would be hard to survive in..the dry snow from the other day is now a foot of wet slush!it would be impossible to make a snow shelter.under the snow is several inches of water and everything is wet.about all you could do is try and pile up enough branches,pine would be best,to get off the ground and make a big fire in a sheltered spot.the wind is picking up.this is where foil bags and blankets and a very good fire kit would be a life saver..a PLB would be a real life saver..
