Quick report

A quiet day in Haffner with three parties spread out early, midday, and late afternoon. Ice in generally good shape although barely touching down in sections. I think people are kicking some of it away rather than letting things form properly and some of it is a lot of unsupported weight. We played on the ice in the corner and here again the ice isn't formed to the ground right of the corner. What would be the corner is dry and tons of featured hooking. The left side is somewhat wet and growing but not a total soaker at least.

Low clouds obscured the peaks almost all day. Very light and very fine snow throughout the day although little accumulation. Winds were very light or none but I'd expect some transport of the small accumulation as wind does pick up. Temps seemed to hover around the 0c to +2c range although my $2 thermometer may not be accurate. What I did note is that it was snow at Haffner but once we got back into the Bow Valley around 3pm it was around 1c and sleet on the highway.
