Palisades Conditions?

Does anyone have beta on the conditions in the palisades right now? Mostly wondering about how much it's snowed and if anything is iced up. Pretty vague ask so any comments are appreciated, thanks!

Try calling a local guide service:

Drove by today and from 395 doesn’t look like there’s any snow up there. Obviously I was still a long way away, but looks pretty bare.

Sweet, thanks for the info!

If you find anything out - can you update thread? Thanks. 

There is going to be a dusting of snow on anything that is NE/NW/N facing.  I hiked up Agassiz Oct 25 and there was an inch or two of snow on shaded aspects up high.  Sunny aspects should be free of snow.  

Here's my pic of the Palisades from Agassiz on Oct 25:
