Conditions: Trail broken nicely all the way to South Kinsman. We cut across the frozen lake. Some of our gang wore snowshoes from the get go and keep them on all day. The rest wore hillsounds or micros. No major blow downs. Some ice on Fishin Jimmy, but easy to get around. Snowshoes probably better ascending the steeps. Of course, all this is a mute point, considering the storm for tomorrow. Great group as usual. Bill M., Scott M., John G., June, R. and Steve M. Nice seeing Georg on the trail today. A pretty good day. No wind with temps holding steady at 12 degrees. Light snow started about 11:00. At 3:00 there was about 2 inches on our vehicles when we finished.
