Comments
Comments: Cold and windy today for this nice shorter hike in the Ossipee Range. No snow down low and only a thin cover up high. We bare booted all day without issue. There were some areas of ice that were easy to get around. Snow higher up on Turtleback that was firm and supported us without issue. Biting wind on the summit of Bald Knob and nice on the summit of Turtleback. Some minor mud here and there but mostly frozen.
