Anyone from these two areas have conditions for these spots? With the latest warm spell I figured there'd be some boulders w/o snow. Let me know!

Southeast New England is snow free and balmy warm. Get after it

Edit: No snow in Rhode Island

? Not true

This was from Minnewaska yesterday.
The Trapps area has significantly less snow, and there is ZERO snow in New Paltz. It's quite strange right now.
There are people doing full ascents ice climbing Gelsa and people trad climbing all over too.
Chances are the rock is dry but there could be snow on the ground in a lot of spots.

Most of the boulders at the gunks aren't icy at all, but the first 5 minutes of the approach has some ice on the carriage road -- at least as of the Monday three days prior. I was glad to have microspikes. There were some boulderers out that day too.

Here's a photo from the trapps from today. Wild, this is about a mile fromy previous photo at the same elevation.

Super odd conditions this week

This is a cool pic!

But I was talking more about southEAST New England. No snow in eastern Massachusetts or Rhode Island
