I'm looking at going for some longer easy multipitches in cannon from 10/14-10/19. If you have any idea what conditions are like as of now I'd greatly appreciate it. Mainly concerned with ice.

Presently there is no ice on Cannon.  I doubt there will be in your timeframe.

The 10 day forecast might suggest otherwise: Nighttime lows next week of 32 F in Lincoln. And Cannon is what, 1500 ft higher? That's good for 6 F lower temps.

Even with lower temps there is not enough rain in the area over the past couple of months for any significant ice to build up, but you never know.

Abe, I would avoid Cannon now that the freeze-thaw cycle has begun since there's a higher chance of rockfall. If you really want to climb something there, I would go for the WG ridge or Meatgrinder; I believe those would be your safest options.
