I was at Blair Woods, Boulder Natural, and Round Pond on 12/27. There was only the tiniest amounts of snow hidden away in the shadows. Most of the rock was dry and there wasn't much mud. Some stuff was wet though like Ride the Lightning and that V7 next to Stegosaurus on the Halcyon boulder.
I assume the conditions there are very similar right now since we haven't seen much snow or precipitation in general since I was out there. Sunday looks to be warm but rainy. I saw a few days ago that it wasn't supposed to rain and could have been a decent climbing day but now its either wet or cold, take your pick!

There's been significant rain/snow fall since then and this week has been rainy and snowy so I don't think I'd guarantee things would be climbable, the week before 12/27 was very warm and conditions were perfect. I would say you could find dry things to climb but head out there with no expectations. The last few days have been okay though. I would be heading out Saturday if it were a bit warmer.

Really? We haven't got much of either up in VT I thought it would be the same down there.
Just northern VT is dry Eddy - Over 28 inches in the past 7 days here in central VT - Mass, CT, and southern NH have been snow covered on and off for a couple weeks.
