Hello Skiers & Boarders,
I don't know what the conditions are up on top, but down in town the sidewalks are treacherous as heck with the recent melt/re-freeze. Sigh...December. It's also the scariest month for driving, hands down. Once things properly freeze up, the ice on the roads and sidewalks becomes much grippier. I endure December. Its main redeeming feature, besides Christmas, is that it's the gateway to January.
The weather report expects a good chunk of snow this afternoon, so that should be entertaining.
Think snow.
