Waiting Impatiently

We have just a light dusting of snow on the ground. Flurries are forecast over the next 2 days, but it doesn't look like there will be any significant accumulation until Monday, when 5 to 10 cm is predicted. When we have skiing, I will let you know.

Snow is on the way?

We now have the cooler temperatures we need, and the ground surface is frozen. We had some light flurries yesterday, but no accumulation. There are lots of flurries in the forecast, and the possibility of a general snowfall Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed!

Warm and Dry

Still no skiing, as temperatures continue above freezing. Colder weather and some snow should be moving in around the middle of the coming week. Maybe next weekend we'll be able to ski.

No News is Bad News

Our temperatures continue to be on a roller coaster, above and below freezing. In the past week we had a couple of days around +7. This morning, it's -3 and there is a very light dusting of snow on the ground, but not nearly enough to ski on. The forecast for the coming week looks quite warm, with one day predicted to reach +11. I don't think we'll be skiing anytime soon.

No skiing yet.

Yesterday's rain changed to snow overnight. This morning, we have 1 to 2 cm of snow on the ground - not enough to ski on.
I'm heading over to Monora Park this morning, for the Mono Nordic Ski Club open house and registration day.

A little snow, but not enough

We have about 3 cm of snow on the ground. Grass is sticking up through it. Not enough to ski on. With temperatures going up to +6 on Monday and Tuesday, this snow won't stay around for long.

This was the Hockleycrest Trail at about 8 this morning.

Winter Arrives

We have some snow on the ground this morning. It is not sufficient to ski on, but we are heading in the right direction. The forecast calls for snow squalls today; if these should happen to cross our area, we could receive larger amounts of snow.
I will not groom until there is sufficient depth. Look for updates later today and tomorrow.
