A Hint of things to come

I was off line for a day while I got set up on a new computer.
There was some snow yesterday morning, just enough to try skiing. Coverage was about 4 or 5 cm and the temperature was right on 0. I got out  for a short ski - about 5 km - on my old rock skis and  it was tolerable. I did hear the skis scrape over a couple of rocks, but no serious harm was done. However, by noon the temperature  was up up to +2 and we were having some  melting.

I would not recommend skiing at this time.
