Yep, I've been watching that....it's slightly better for saturday than it was last evening, but still ugly. Waiting before I cancel the trip till as late as possible.

It got uglier already Mark and I would rather be in the Valley right now.

Cold, foggy, windy, foggy and windy. And it's cold outside! It's even cold inside.

If I lived in the Valley, I wouldn't drive a couple hours for this. Try "plan B", the river.

Thanks for the report Dan. The interesting thing is, the winds haven't kicked up at Stonewall yat. We are planning a run--guess we'll see when we get to Newport.

Be careful out there people, these are just MY thoughts
