Yesterday and today's reports were very rank and also funny.

Jays Snow Report

**Winter Storm Warning in Effect**

Ok, so this is the deal. Heavy snow yesterday morning for several hours before turning toward mixed precipitation in the afternoon then to freezing rain as we approached supper time. It seems that it did flip to all rain for a period between midnight and 1:30am or so, but then stopped before turning back to heavy snow around 4:45am. Heavy snow is still with us here at 6:30am.

Should I come you ask? Well, you need to be your own skier, your own snowboarder today but I will say the following: The wind is blowing hard enough, right now, to keep most upper mountain lifts on delay out of the gate and forecasters aren't calling for them to slow down any time soon--maybe by late morning. Surface conditions, where the groomers have made a pass or two, will be ok but the woods will be titanium. That's, to say, firm.

If you plan on heading to the mountain today, please check back to this area as the snowphones are updated at 8am and 4pm, approximately, only.

If you're headed to the mtn today, despite the less than stellar set up, let me be the first to say, way-to-go.
