Higher summits retained that ice that formed last weekend, and Friday night will add some snow on top. Tractions devices should be mandatory to allow staying on the trail and not the soft ground on the side. Also be prepared for cloudy, windy conditions with summit temperatures only in the 20s. Not quite full winter, but almost.
Whiteface Highway may pick up enough snow for another weekend of skiing - perhaps even from the toll house - but we're not counting our flakes until they fall. Next week will return to warmer weather, so winter isn't here just yet
UPDATE AS OF 5 PM 11-14: Dusting of snow at the toll house. Pavement is blown clear of snow and is mostly covered with verglas/black ice. Estimate at least a mile of walking before reaching skiable snow, but high winds may have blown it clear even higher. Craig Wood Golf Course is white, which is all some need for a ski, but that's about it for this snowfall.
