The continuation of cold weather enhances winter patterns. Sunny weather has been deceptive as to the drops in temperature, often to below the 20's which have occurred during the week. While skiing conditions are reported as being excellent both on Bryce and Afton Mountains, as well as areas in New York, Vermont, and Maine, rain predicted for the weekend may cause the return of a springlike atmosphere to Charlottesville. Outdoor plans for Midwinters Weekend may be affected by warmer weather although Black Culture Week will relieve this problem. A concert Friday night featuring Nina Simone and Donnie Hathaway begins the festivities, while artists and guests speakers will be included during the week.
