Here are the replies I got about my inquiry on weather in the  
Adirondaks for next weekend.  Thanks to all those who replied.

Call the Adirondack Mountain Club weather and trail information
recording at (518) 523-3518.  I doubt you need snowshoes.  I  
backpacked
over 4000' elevation in January and March 21-22, and wound up
carrying the snowshoes all the way.  Bad year for snow.
Unless snow has dumped in the
past few weeks without melting (doubt it), save yourself some
weight.  Especially if you're not going higher than Marcy Dam.
You may want to bring crampons and a ski pole in case it's icy.

Temperatures: To be safe, you should plan for winter conditions.

as a matter of fact, the Trails Coordinator of
the ADK Mtn. Club just called me.  he said there's
6 inches to two feet of snow depending on where
you are.  I didn't ask and he didn't specify how
much is there near the Loj (ie. near Marcy Dam).
you might want to call ADK's weather phone.  the
number is 518/523-3518.

I can't give you an up to the minute report, since I haven't been
there in the past four weeks, but I can give you some ideas on
what to expect.  Expect the unexpected.

There's about a 60 % chance that the weather here will be the
same as there.  At least if its good.  If the weather here is bad,
there's a 90% chance it will be the same.

Although it varies from year to year, you can expect to find lots
of snow at high altitudes.  If you stick to more popular mountains,
(Phelps, Marcy, Colden, Algonquin, etc.) Chances are good that you
won't need snowshoes *if its not fresh snow*.  It will be well packed
and hard.  Crampons, on the other hand may be more necessary.  Those
ice covered rocks can be slippery.

Four weeks ago, the snow looked like it was starting to disappear
at low elevations.  I Know they had more snow since then, but I
don't know if its still there.

It would not at all be odd to have a foot of snow fall at low
altitudes, or freezing rain.  You may also have warm sunny weather.
Look at what our temp could be, and then extend the limits.  I've
been at Indian Falls in August, and waking up to ice on the ground.
I've woken up to 6" of snow on my tent in September.  This time
of the year is the most variable.  Last year, there was snow at
the high elevations until June.

Expect anything, have fun.

Hi Chris

It snowed in the dacks last weekend aprox 2 in on sat.
I was up on Mar 31, and there was'nt more than 6" in the woods
any place that I went. Remember that it can snow as late as
May up there and go with that in mind.

have a nice trip
