My guess is a skiff, maybe .5" to 2" on the ground in select areas.

I could barely drive to Elkhart park 2 weeks ago. Some snow was melting but most was there until spring. It snowed more after I left.

If you need a partner to head in and explore some things I would be down!

Elkhart is open. Titcomb Basin had about a foot last week but some of that will melt out with the weather were expected to have in the next week or so. We got some snow a couple of days ago but you should still be able to drive up there.

Historically the mountains are "closed" this time of year (meaning not plowed past the ski resort), but it's been sort of an Indian Summer. Once the snow sticks in town, it's snowmobiles and skis past White Pine.
