Spruce Knob to Seneca Rocks Edition – October 31, 2025
As yesterday’s rain eased away and the colder WNW winds swung back around, temps fell and below freezing temps caught some moisture and that led to a bit of freezing drizzle, light snow and a touch of rime on the tops.
Cloudy, areas of showers, windy, a touch of high ground snow.
