Both Thursday and Friday may turnout to be decent but, right now, not all forecasts agree about the movement of the soon to arrive nor’easter. Will wait for the Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning predictions before deciding.

As of this morning, here are my impressions:

Thursday, the W to WNW direction coupled with the gust predictions at Woodstock (multiple forecast models) and blown out conditions at the Pulpit are non-starters for me.

Friday, Woodstock may work but the WNW direction is a concern. Blown out at the Pulpit. Waiting for Thursday afternoon’s predictions to decide.

Saturday, The Pulpit is looking good but it’s three days out.

yeah! i've got full muscular control, range of motion, whole nine yards, just limited on weight bearing right now because of the possibility of bending the screws or whatever

It is 33 deg. here in Berryville, with 1/2" of snow on the ground and WNW wind is ripping along at 25 mph. I am waiting to see how things shape up tomorrow.
