looking for snow

Well I just spent about 2-2.5 hours driving around the North Country checking on snow. I wasn't expecting much and I didn't get much. There is a slight bit of icy slush on the ground in Canton that will probably be gone by morning. Higley our home training site in South Colton still had a solid layer of slushy ice that could probably even be skied on but it wouldn't be worthwhile training. If the rain changes over soon and it gets cooler, we may be able to ski there this week but I am not counting on it. I went all the way out to Star Lake but that was even worse, oh well we need lake effect snow for that and these past storms were not really lake storms. This week will be difficult given that we rollerskiing is going to be ugly on roads that have been salted and sanded. Running should still be fine of course and we have a bounding workout planned for Friday. Gatineu Park in Ottawa was being groomed prior to the weekend but they are getting rain there as well. Even so I would be that we could get in some skiing there this weekend especially if we get some snowfall after the rain. We will see. Back at it again tomorrow morning.
