elk will do well but blue knob probably got into some of the warm air as well. From what I have heard, 25 miles from here there is no snow

Due to my partner being sick I don't think I am going to make it out tomorrow as planned. It's probably not a good idea that I take my little FWD Toyota up to 4,500 ft in the snow all alone. Kinda sucks, but oh well. I guess I should be studying biochem anyway.

On a better note. The plan is to spend tomorrow night running around the woods with a buddy chasing after the ever elusive WV raccoon. It is the first day of the season you know? I'm thinking that I'll still get to play in the snow, as the property we are hunting on is about 40 miles (as the crow flies) east of Snowshoe and tops out at about 3,500 feet. Maybe I can get a picture or two. That is unless I'm chasing (or being chased by) a black bear...

Hmmmmmmmm...Racoon..Tastes like Chicken!..Actually I heard it makes a great pot roast. How ya goin take pics at Nite?..Anyway there will be some moisture on that side of the Alpp Spine(better further north) with the low along the coast(The weather folks are very confused about the whole deal right now) but you are going to need as much elevation as you can get, so Jump as high a you can..then snap the pic!..Don't Hurt the little Coon.

How was the snow coon hunting last nite Davey..Crocket??..Well the WV Alpps finally got some Snow action up at 3715' Canaan Cking in with 3.1 new..don't know what SS got..little birdie told me that MPC had a half foot ..Laurel summit 1.9..so the Mambo Jambo Accu snow never came about But I'm hoping we get a Snow Check for T-Giving..Enjoy the warm up..Gone fishin...

It snowed off and on all evening. Didn't stick much though, other than just on leaves. I'm looking out at my car and the windows are covered. I'm at 2,600 ft.

Oh yeah, treed 1 coon and 1 bear.

Looks like Branch Mountain between eastern and western Hardy Co. received snow on the leaves visible at a several mile distance. I would say the elevation line for this was around 2500' minimum.

Quick hike up to Blackburn Trail Center on the AT this morning, slush on parts of the side of the trail and on fallen logs. This is about 1675 in elevation and about 25 miles west of Dulles Airport as the crow flies.

Thought I stick up a few pics of some snow that I've seen over the past day. Not much, but enough to get me excited.

This was taken this morning at 2,600 ft in Nicholas County WV.



I took this one from the backseat while on the way home from a cyclocross race in Fayetteville. This was right around 3,000 ft. The white almost completely disappeared when we dropped below 2,800 ft. It was pretty cool.


I almost forgot. In case you've never seen a hound that has treed a coon.

Wintergreen got hit today for its first coating of the year...

With most of the nearby ski resorts recording small amounts of snow this past week, it just goes to show that the '09/'10 ski season is right around the corner!

So i noticed snowshoe was making snow. I understand the it is necessary to workout any bugs in their system but looking at the weather for up there it's not supposed to get below freezing again for quite some time..
