Good News/Bad News?

 Looking at the weather forecast, it's difficult to know what's going to happen, and what the result will be.

First the good news: we received about 1 cm of new snow yesterday afternoon, when the temperature was around -6. This snow has provided a thin cushion on top of the older packed base, and this morning, at a temperature of -2, it gives both good grip and great glide. A rare combination.

But how long will this last? The forecast says there will be some snow today, possibly mixed with rain, and a high temperature of +1. Then there will be a drop to -8 tonight. So, we might come out of this with good conditions, or there might be a lot of ice.

It's generally not good to groom wet snow at temperatures above freezing, so I will likely not groom today.
