still skiing, but need to go higher than expected

UPDATE SATURDAY PM: Actual conditions experienced today were worse than expected. Needed to walk about two miles to the 3,300-foot level before there was any continuous snow. Photo shows the 3,300-foot sign with snow at the right bend above. By the Lake Placid Turn, it was fully covered with 4-6". Wilmington Turn mostly blown clear (it was fully covered two days ago) with a report of nothing but ice above the Wilmington Turn. Oh well, it's only early November and next week could still bring conditions back to where they were earlier this week..

As of 8:30 Saturday morning it appears that the front that came through last night had warmer temperatures than expected - especially above 2,000 feet where we had assumed it would remain below freezing even as valley temperatures rose into the upper 40s.  So, not much snow at the Toll House, but there will still be snow higher up with likely less than a mile of walking.  We'll check it out and issue an update later today.  Meanwhile, the forecast still looks good for whatever snow we do have to stick around through next week.

​And this definitely ends any golf course skiing in Lake Placid.
