 | Comments: |
Today's buzzword is: water on trail. Every trail on my route today, save for High Meadow in the section between Jack Frost and Bicentennial had either notable amounts of water running down the trail, or standing on it from this weekend's snowstorm. The only remnants of the snow on the trails is a bit on Harrington, Link, and Jack Frost. The snow was minor, but the water was consistent and notable. the trails were not extremely muddy, but were definitely wet today. |
