CT Rain Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I know it has been warm, but I was surprised by how few really cold days relative to normal we've had. A warming climate... oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Morning, folks. Picked up .46" last night. I'd have expected it to linger around longer than it did as apparently it all fell prior to midnight. Looks like another beaut on tap with lower 60's and sun. 51/49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It was the best of days, it was the worst of days yesterday. Just after dawn, the northern Presidentials were basking in sunlight. Over Mount Washington, however, the weather was much different. Fog and drizzle were accompanied by winds gusting to over 50 mph. Unfortunately, the winds were southerly and I was walking directly into it. Drizzle at 50mph is a lot like staring into a shower faucet. But before that misery it was nice on the northern peaks. There's a shot from atop Mt Clay looking towards the maelstrom on MWN - the summit tower can be seen barely poking out of the clouds. As I drew nearer, I could start to feel the drizzle. Looking behind me I could see a "drizzle-bow". Conditions for me rapidly deteriorated after that point - was getting completely soaked so I had to stash the camera. I forged ahead to the MWN summit building to have a snack and get a respite from the wind and drizzle. My backpack and sweat towel left puddles in the chairs. lol. After about 90 minutes the fog started to lift, so I went back to the Great Gulf headwall and snapped some pics. After I went back around to Washington's south side, the winds decreased substantially and it turned into an LL five-sun BSE day. This is a shot from the Lakes of the Clouds looking towards Mt Washington. I continued south to Mt Eisenhower, where I made my descent to my car. What a fantastic day! My next goal is to spend a day from sunrise to sunset above treeline. The early forecast for next Saturday is promising, hopefully it holds.

It's amazing how much difference visibility of 100 miles makes over 30'. lol. Truly was a best day ever once the fog skedaddled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Presidential traverse? Yeah, that was definitely on my mind yesterday. The only problem is with getting back to my car at the end of the day. Will probably just go up and walk around aimlessly for 16 hours. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
