Morning y'all,

It's a beautiful, snowy morn up top! The high yesterday reached 36 degrees. The overnight low got down to 19 degrees. It was 19 degrees and snowing lightly at 7am observation. The mountain received .97" of rain yesterday and an inch of snow overnight. The trails are sure to be treacherous, so be sure to pack traction devices if you intend to go places. As of this posting, Highway 441 is closed. Check the Park Service's twitter feed for updated road status. Enjoy the snow world!

Yes, I suspect the trails are quite treacherous indeed. I had hoped to donning the microspikes today, myself, watching Eagles and taking in the frozen waterfalls at a state park in Northern Illinois -- but I woke up with a bronchial cough and a low-grade fever.I'm not a happy person at the moment. : (

Enjoy the snow, JP!

Thank you very much, JP. I do not always agree with what folks say on this site but I truly appreciate your putting out an honest comment every single day.That is not easy. I hope your ankle gets better soon.

Thanks Jenny! I am doing everything I can to accelerate the healing process, but it seems like it will just take time. Fortunately, I have some of that.

Best wishes,
JP
