This weekend in the Adirondacks

The Adirondack snowpack took a dramatic hit this past week and conditions for this weekend will depend largely on how much snow we actually get.

We can expect very icy conditions through the weekend. If you’re headed out, be prepared with traction devices and snowshoes or skis.

Snowshoes or skis are still needed everywhere. Recent warmer days make for icy conditions on popular routes. Below normal temps expected Saturday and Sunday.

We’ve finally gotten that snow that winter sports enthusiasts have been waiting for and this is the weekend to enjoy it.

It’s been cold enough to keep a good base of snow and a few inches here and there have added to what are nice conditions for most winter snow sports.

It will remain colder than average through the weekend and into next week. There is no substantial snow in the forecast, but the highest peaks could see a little.

Dangerous wind chills are in the forecast. Frostbite on exposed skin can occur in as little as 10 minutes. Save yourself the trouble and stay out of the cold wind.

We’re expecting some snow later Saturday, but we’ve lost so much that we’re only just beginning to rebuild the base across the lower elevations.
