Due to deteriorating condition, Resolution Shelter is closed, and the immediate area is posted off limits to camping. It was earmarked for removal in 2008, but grandfathered until it became hazardous. That time has apparently arrived. No one could argue about its sorry state, but it's still a...

Today's rain comes with low cloud cover so it is hard to make out if the smoke haze has gone, but the wood fire odor is definitely gone.

Southern Californians were visiting overnight last night in Franconia. When they woke this morning, they knew what was going on immediately. This has become all too common a phenomenon in SoCal in the fall.

Confirming an interpretive sign, picnic tables, toilets, small docks, cement pad boat launch, and NO trash at Long Pond. And all the bugs you could ever imagine....

It's been coming and going here. I noticed it yesterday morning at home (Franconia), then it cleared by evening when I was kayaking at Long Pond (adjacent to Moosilauke), but returned overnight and is still perceptible. It's bothering a friend with CF. Volcanic ash...smoke...we are indeed...

I closed all the windows last night but the smell of smoke pervades the house today. I'm under 3 m atcf from the Franconias and can barely make them out for the haze. Wind shift and rain tonight should take care of it one way or the other.

insuremytrip.com is a good place to start your homework for emergency medical travel insurance. There are per trip policies and annual "frequent flyer" options, e.g. Medex. If you are on Medicare, you may not be aware that Medicare does not pay for emergency medical costs incurred outside the...

This is beyond the scope of the database but it would be useful nevertheless: whether or not the area is plowed (or tends to be plowed) in winter. I say "tends to be" because in a really large snow storm, the state parking lots in Franconia Notch, for instance, may not see a plow for several...

Thank you, Roy, this is a big project. Minor input: Kinsman Notch: there is a picnic table; there is an interpretive sign (bomber crash info). I did not see a permanent trash receptacle and I don't recall a bear-proof dumpster ever being there. (If you do not wish to pay to park there, go...

I was thinking more along the lines of the governor, whose staff does read and tally letters, "sternly worded" or otherwise.

I promised myself never to get involved in one of these mare's nest threads, but I've broken promises to myself before... And, for once, I happen to agree with the responder to Harrigan's column who essentially says that the so-called "charge 'em" policy is not up to the volunteers, who of...

C'mon up! It won't hang around long. Road plows are out but nobody's bothering to shovel or plow driveways.

Still snowing @ 1200' in Franconia. Heavy wet stuff has been coming down since yesterday around 3 p.m. Intense squalls from time to time. Be prepared for over 2' of new snow at higher elevations in the western Whites. Should you take your snow shoes? Yes.

"Artist's View" is just that, the classic location from which to paint (then photograph) Franconia Notch. It's the southern equivalent to Artist's Bluff at the northern end of the Notch. Browse through these paintings (e.g., Bellows, Dunning, Durand, Johnson, etc.), and you'll see this southern...

Power is back; brewed up on woodstove this morning. 12" and snowing heavily

It's starting to crank up with heavy snow here, 3" or so down @ 1200'. VT towns just west of Mt Mansfield had snow all day, with about 12" down now. I think Jay may also add two weekdays this week.

I'm seeing differing forecasts for 03580 for Tuesday April 27, varying from 40s and rain to up to 4" of snow with a winter storm watch through the afternoon of 4/28. Anyone want to call this one? (Never take your snows off until May 1.)

Yup, saw two walk across my field Wednedsay night; last night saw three roadside on 112 in the Kinsman Notch.

So how about next year you put Stabil in instead and spare us all up here, OK? ;)

3-4" of heavy wet snow in Franconia Notch. Plows working away. 32F. Watch out, lots of people up here took off snows prematurely. It's never over 'til May.
