 | Comments: |
Had plans to head north today to grab a 52 WAV, but reports of ice on the roads kept me closer to home. Conditions here in SW NH seemed more like April 5th, than January 5th. No snow or ice on any of these trails. Only a trace of snow, or ice, anywhere at all. Near the summit, however, trees were beginning to ice up a bit due to a very light drizzle that fell occasionally throughout the day. |
