I went through in the same conditions over the Balds in late October 2008:

Starting temp of 10-15 degrees (based on my mini-thermometer)
About 6" of new snow in in the trees
Sustained winds of 40 mph
Gusts of up to 70 mph, fortunately quartering from behind the direction I was walking
Clear blue skies!
