Corn Score
❄️ Poor corn conditions on the model's read. Overnight: 32°F at Timberline (⚠️ didn't freeze). Freezing level ~5,513 ft — 100% of route froze above that. Crater Rock overnight low: forecast 25°F. Daytime high: 35°F at Timberline.

How this score was built ⓘ
- Refreeze (× 0.5) +32.5
- Warming (× 0.3) +5.5
- Streak bonus (capped at 20) +0
- Recent snow penalty −9.5
- Final score 28.5 / 100
Why this score?
- Refreeze 65/100 contributed +32 pts (50% weight). Snow surface estimated ~31°F (air 32°F − 1°F radiative cooling — sky 88% cloud, wind ×0.72, humidity ×1.00).
- Warming 18/100 contributed +6 pts (30% weight).
- Freeze/thaw streak is 0 days — base score (refreeze + warming) caps at 80 until a streak builds.
- Recent snow penalty: −10 pts — surface needs more freeze/thaw cycles to develop corn texture.
- 🏔️ Timberline above freezing — score boosted by route-frozen fraction (100% of route froze after radiative cooling)

Sanity-check this
- 🤔 Overnight low was right at freezing (32°F) — refreeze may be thin or aspect-dependent (south-facing slopes likely worse).
- 🤔 Timberline didn't freeze (32°F) but ~98% of the route above did — corn quality improves with elevation. The lowest slopes near the trailhead may be icy or slushy instead of corn.
