Air Temperature: -0.3C
Rel. Humidity: 96%
Snow Height: 12cm
Snow Type: wet snow on ice
Weather: Snowfall
The light rain from last evening apparently turned to snow in the night, we've picked up over 1cm of new snow and it is still snowing. This should be the end of the usual January Thaw -- this time it was particularly brutal, but we had a lot of snow to start compared to last year, so we didn't make it to bare ground as we did last year. Just hope we don't have an additional unusual February Thaw like last year... Should be able to rock ski today. And with a bit more snow and we should be able to really ski again.

It rained all day...
Somehow we have 9cm of snow left in the yard and no bare patches yet, the ground is probably so saturated the snow had nowhere to go... haven't had a chance to look at the trails, but being under trees and having been groomed, most likely are no longer skiable.
At least the temps are dropping below freezing now, and the next few days there is a chance for a little snow every day.

PM Trail Report
Air Temperature: -6.8C
Rel. Humidity: 73%
Snow Height: 20cm
Snow Type: Transformed
Weather: clear
Sorry for not being able to post, too much work lately. We've had grooming reports coming in from the FOCW grooming crew, so the trails have been regroomed several times since the rain and refreeze, so icy spots should be broken up by now. There is quite a bit of debris from the winds on Tue., at least in our yard so expect the same in Cole's Woods, so classic would be better than trying to skate. Wish I could get out tonight but it is back to work...

PM Thaw Report
Air Temperature: 0C
Rel. Humidity: 93%
Snow Height: 20cm
Snow Type: Mushy
Weather: Clearing
This morning woke up to ice everywhere. Then we got up to +5C and pouring rain this morning. Temperature has dropped and things are starting to refreeze, with most of the snow intact and compacted. Please do not ski the trails until they are refrozen, otherwise there'll just be big ruts that won't come out.

Great day to be out to enjoy the powder conditions. Right now it is raining and the snow is very fast. Rain is freezing on contact. Let's see how things look tomorrow evening once it starts to get cold again.
