Poor Richard's Forecast
Written by Bob Hey
Fall is here, the Adirondacks will soon be ablaze. Cool daytime temperatures will keep you comfortable when hiking. Cold air flow from Canada will ensure photographers crisp depth of field. But by Thanksgiving, withered leaves will coat the trails, ice will begin to smother lake surfaces, and a general suspense will shroud the skier's mind.

Notable Happenings in 1984
Written by David Flinn
So far this winter, the conditions have been better for the ice climber rather than the skier. By Thanksgiving, it was still fairly warm and rainy. Many hikers would slosh and slog through the November niuck up the John's Brook trail, but soon run into snow and ice above 3200'. By late November, the cold settled in and snow has since covered the ground. The week of December 12 - 16, it warmed up and rained, ruining all snow and ice conditons. Usually, the higher elevation and proximity to the storm track enables the Lake Placid area to accummulate @ 8" more snow than in Keene Valley.
