Default Current John Bull Condition?

Can anybody fill me in on the current condition of John Bull. It has been pretty dry and a little warmer up there lately. That is until this weekend. I was thinking of heading up there next Saturday and I heard that it might not be passable right now. Anybody been up there recently?

I wonder how much snow will be getting dumped on the trail tonight. Anybody know if White Mountain is passable right now? Any other hard trail up there passable right now?
