Pretty much the same as my report two days ago. A bit icy, but good coverage and control. Busy day. Will warm up fast. Hoping for snow. Dancing like crazy.

For this time of year and little snow or cold, conditions were good. Sugary snow. Good coverage. Turns not very icy. Lot of use today with the schools present. Good to see those young folks out there learning the ropes. Kudos to their instructors for managing and assisting them. Snow dance folks. Snow dance!
