Hunter Jan 7th

Once again a no ski day for me due to a severe head cold. There was no snowmaking except on Hunter One in the past 2 days. Conditions were hard and fast on well packed snow. The lifts had no problems today and the weather was bright but not sunny with temps only reaching a high of 28. Crowds have been very light - no lines. Looks like nuisance snow for Fri into Sat and since the ground and roads remain very cold it will cause slippery conditions. Following deep freeze forecast out of Albany. Big 50th anniversary party and ground breaking (jack-hammer needed) for the Zip LIne on Sat followed by evening fireworks as previously reported.

Weather Advisories: NUISANCE SNOW EVENT TO EFFECT THE REGION ON FRIDAY.
.
Low pressure will track south of the region on Friday opening the door to a new surge of arctic air which will move into the region Friday night and Saturday. As the cold comes in, a period of light snow or snow showers will occur impacting the entire region through much of the day Friday. General snow accumulations of 1"-2" are expected with 2"-4" of a light fluffy snow in the higher elevations of the Catskills, Taconics, Berkshires, and Litchfield hills.
.
There is some potential for a Mohawk-Hudson convergence event to develop in and around the Capital Region Friday afternoon. If this occurs, light snow would likely be prolonged in just the Capital Region and immediate surrounding into the evening..
