[at-l] Yo, Nor'easters...

[David Hicks" <daveh@usit.net (David Hicks)]

I was up doing some work on Salt Pond Mountain, near War Spur Shelter,
yesterday -- in blowing light snow & well below freezing.  Just a light
accumulation, plus a few patches of old snow.

However, it's sunny and 60* here, today.  Supposed to be warmer Thursday &
Friday.  Next week they are calling for lots of rain.  So, kiss this area
off for your snow campout.
