Wild Bill C. and I were sick of being cooped up by the crappy weather so we hiked Cannon to see which of the very divergent forecasts was correct. NOAA had it pretty much spot on for Cannon. Two inches maybe of wet sticky snow on top of a firm footbed. I spiked up without postholing; Bill C. used 'shoes for traction and the televators. Down low in the hardwoods a quantity of twig litter in the trail. Snow showers on Cannon, light rain in Franconia. Easy hike - conditions are quite good for mid-April. |
