As you know we just had that Nor' Easter come through and drop some late season snow and 20* temps. If we get thawing, you can expect otherwise watch for ice. A recent post showed some vandalism at Wiley shelter.

well i live on LI and it is covered in 12+ in of snow expect/accept this
I am 14 miles from the trail along the NY/CT border. We had 9 inches.
Last saturday, before the storm, I went up to Wiley Shelter to take some pics and the trail was clear, except north facing patches of solid ice. So, now there is snow on the ice and it is likely to be nasty still this weekend. If it were me, I'd postpone.
