The Trailhead Conditions at 7:00 a.m.:

The temperature is 21.9 degrees F and steady;
The humidity is 63% and falling;

The USFS Fire Danger Class is LOW;

The coolest part is that there is a thin skim of ice over the whole of Cook's Pond, and it is a quilt of wildly angled lines in mini blocks. Generally when ice begins to freeze in Cook's there is a cove that freezes first, and other, more sun or wind exposed coves that refuse to freeze. To have the whole thing freeze at once evenly and so thin is a pretty cool thing to behold.

This should be a great day to get out there and enjoy the trails with sun before the storm system bringing snow and rain moves in late tonight.
