Weatherman was wrong and gorgeous day in Maine with MurdaPanda and Ginger Beard! Trail was nice and firm to North, then unbroken to South. We left a nice snowshoe track, though we lost the AT in a few spots, but our tracks will get you to South ;) after first 100 yards of Redington whack it became discernible and incredibly deep. Decided not to push on. Trails where in fine shape but we passed two guys post holing their way up. They where about 3 miles from TH when we passed them.
