6PM Area Trail Report

Air Temperature: 0,3C
Rel. Humidity: 95%
Weather: snowing
Snow Type: wet
Snow Height: 8cm

Cole's Woods similar to yesterday, ungroomed but skiable with bare patches.

Queensbury School trails have excellent cover, ungroomed slow skating, tracks set by other skiiers on the old machine track, so good classic skiing.

Hope this snow doesn't melt too much and sets a good base for the snow coming on Tues. night, 12-20cm predicted as of now.

7PM Trail Report

Air Temperature: 0,3C
Rel. Humidity: 88%
Weather: Sleet
Snow Type: Wet
Snow Height: 7cm

Ungroomed, rock skis, skating recommended since the classic skis will ice.

We started to pick up wet snow around 11AM and it snowed quite well throughout the afternoon.  Trails are well covered except for the usual problem areas where there is too much shade from the trees.  Because the snow today would only stick to the old snow underneath, bare areas remained bare.  It is supposed to continue snowing tonight so let's see what we get tomorrow morning.

We are back, and so is the snow

Air Temperature: -3,2C
Rel. Humidity: 80%
Weather: flurries
Snow Type: wet snow
Snow Height: 4cm

Sorry for not posting last week, we were all sick.  Not much to report last week anyway, just our not-so-much-blizzard-snow melting away.  Pleasant surprise last evening, the rain and ice predicted turned out to be ice and snow.  So we have a nice thin blanket of wet heavy snow, on top of what was left in Cole's Woods from last week it should make for decent rock classic skiing today.
