Open, 35° and mostly cloudy. Forecast high of 37°. 1″ new snow, some freezing rain on top. Skate lanes groomed today, classic tracks are skied in. Nice skiing, soft, need maxiglide.
Trails are in great shape! Looking really good for winter and ready for snow. Walking on the trails right now is lovely. If you take your dog/dogs out to walk, make sure to leash them. Other dogs, porcupines, bears, fisher cats and turkeys have been spotted this year.
Carry a knapsack. If you overdress you can carry your extra clothes.
When Nordic skiing we all warm up quite a bit. So that makes it a great sport for cold weather (No chairlift). Sweating does happen. A dry shirt to wear for your second lap and/or to wear home is really nice.
