Hunter - NWS weather alert for Saturday

Hi all,
Please note the following from the National Weather Service for our area in addition to a rare “flash freeze” alert as the temp will drop about 40 degrees in an hour early Saturday morning creating about a 1/4” of ice over which 1-2” of snow will fall.  All paved and hard surfaces will become extremely dangerous for driving or walking. You can only imagine what that will do to the slopes. FYI - It is now 58 with heavy rain, wind & fog.
Be careful, be safe,
Jon
