Thinking of heading up this weekend. Not averse to snow or snow shoeing in general but was thinking of trying the Provoking loop of the Highlands Trail and would prefer to do it in boots rather than snow shoes. I have this site for weather () but am curious if there is a better source for weather and snow-on-the-ground information.
Thank you
PS any other tips would be great may end up setting up camp in Mew Lake.

I was up around Stratton Lake and High Falls last weekend and we hiked in without snowshoes, yet pulling our gear on toboggans. But this was in the north east corner of the park.
If I was to go back up this weekend I would definitely bring snowshoes but sus it out there. Assuming that Algonquin got the same dump of snow that Ottawa got, it would be a good idea to bring snowshoes to at least the trailhead and decide there. If temps stay cold the snow will stay fluffy and you could maybe get away without snowshoes.
You could also camp at Mew and just hike around Provoking as a day trip.
