Any other year this would feel pretty normal. This year it feels like a punch in the gut. Would have been perfectly happy with a continuation of the current weather.
I think PF or JSpin talked about it, but the stuff that's left on the trails at this point is as close to indestructible as snow gets... There are usually patches left into June, well after everything else has melted
Amazing what a few inches of snow can do. Today was just about perfect. The snow was soft but dry, not a patch of ice to be found, and decent coverage with great scenery and perfect temperature.
Pretty cool depiction of the local differences. These pictures were taken at the same time, one in Bretton Woods and the other on I93 in Littleton near the border with VT/the NEK.
