Hmm... MIA ?
Yea Chas, that type of frozen/thaw/frozen is the East Coast version of A'a...
And that person would be who? Note most observatories are now run remotely from sea level.
Incidentally, the current storm has already dropped a lot of snow at the summit and the forecast is that it may get as low as around a 10,500-ft level. That's still above the VIS but we'll see. The temperatures at the summit are not that low at the moment (~27 degrees F) and near the VIS they are around 35 degrees.
BTW, you can see if there's snow at the VIS during daylight hours via this link, which I've posted many times:
