Weekend report 11/17

Sorry if this is a bit late for your weekend planning, but there's not much good to report.

Warm weather and rain on Friday has melted pretty much everything except for the upper half of the Whiteface Highway. Temperatures will drop tomorrow, Saturday, but the mountain forecast only predicts "little to no" accumulation even at the higher elevations.  Maybe that forecast is wrong, but don't drive very far to try and find out.

Next week maintains cooler temperatures, but so far no skiable snow. In the ideal world, we would have a week or so of really cold temperatures to get some frost in the ground before we have any snow cover.  That would freeze up the little seeps that often plague ski trails as well as ensuring that every flake that falls remains and isn't insidiously melted from the unfrozen ground below.
