Looks like a pretty good Pulpit forecast, and at least the
possibility of more sun than last Sunday. So I'll be looking
at things tomorrow AM, bright and early!

Looks like it's supposed to go West up at the Pulpit
by 1:00 or 2:00, with 50% cloud cover....

I'm tempted! Anyone else willing to give mid-30's a try?

Well, things here (WV) are looking pretty-good........
May take a trip by S-burg, maybe up to the pulpit,
then to hagerstown for some shopping, and then
off to a Xmas (not holiday) party........

If any one goes by Smithsburg or in that area, please post as to what the ground condition is like (i.e snow, corn stalks, mud, etc.). Thanks.

Hey john,

Met up w/ some of guys there....
The Hill side was covered w/
about 2 to 3 " of snow that has
a sheet of ice covering it....
The stalks were still in place
with small paths all around...
There was evidence of someone
trekking up the slope

other than that surface winds
were pretty much out of the SW

For more hill side weather tune in @ 11:00 (ha ha)

'Til then M :wink:
