We're a bit slow on reporting this news, but as of Sunday morning, 10/23, the Whiteface Highway had 3-5" of wet, sticky snow. Not an ideal day for the highway, because of high winds, but it was definitely skiable and skied today. Some areas blown clean, but mostly covered. Temperatures will remain cool all week, so it should remain skiable at least until next Saturday.
Lake Placid golf courses also covered with 2-3". No reports of anyone skiing, and with warm ground underneath icing could be a problem.
UPDATE: The record warm summer and fall left the ground so warm, that the snow disappeared from the Whiteface Highway in one day - despite air temperatures being at or below freezing. Likewise for the golf courses in Lake Placid. Continued cool with more snow possible on Thursday night. We'll check again on Friday to see if perhaps the first dose of snow cooled the ground enough that this second snowfall doesn't immediately melt as well.
