Anywhere between 8 inches at 1500 feet to 4 or 5 feet at 3500. A little new wet snow on top. Snow very firm early on, but softened lower down to a very saturated slush. Any significant blowdown must be buried.
Snow is very settled and crusty up high.
Cloudy until 1pm, when it began to snow with some intensity. We somehow managed to avoid most of the herd paths and found ourselves bushwhacking through some very thick stuff, which was a good experience. I wonder when all this snow is going to melt. AL seems to be the Pin-Pin or Alain of the Catskills. He is a sufficiently crazy mountain man who is not afraid of very much.
