    Signs of spring: bear and bobcat in Franconia

    I can't believe a bear came out in Franconia already, isn't there still a good amount of snow there? I know it was warm for a couple days, but I thought in the White Mountains region it's usually April. I know it is highly dependent on snow depth and temp, but I find that interesting..just...

    March 2nd Snowstorm

    Well, the models are still really having trouble with this, and for VT and western NH, I am not confident at all for this. I think this will be a big snow if models hold for central and eastern Mass away from the water and southeast NH into Maine., 12-14 for these areas. This could change, so we...

    Zealand Trail Moose Attack Warning

    If I disagree it gives you no right to attack me Giggy, many people on here have stated similar in terms of a sign and I can state my opinion. Get off your ridiculously high horse thinking you can post what you want and it won't matter because your "giggy". I was stating the snow depth because...

    Zealand Trail Moose Attack Warning

    Well then you better post that sign every single fall in the White's then, because they tend to get a little aggravated about late September, especially away from peaks. That's just the way of nature, hes pissed off because he is trying to get through a tough winter and is using that area to...

    You sure that crust isn't from that big warmup with rain from 3 weeks ago, on Feb 12th? Incredible to think of how much snow accumulates in there. -Mattl

    Wachipauka Pond Pre-storm Hike 2-22

    Nice pictures! That was the first time Bentley was off of his leash, and he did very well, I was proud of him. Yeah I would like to get up to Webster Slide, and it would have been cool that day because of the wind up there.

    Here-We-Go-Again Heavy Snow Warning 2/22-23

    So far most of the White Mountains has recieved 14-24 inches of snow, with another 3-9 that will fall today through tomorrow, so many areas hitting the 3 ft mark. This combined with the last storm will make for around 50-60 or more inches in 7 days for many places above 2000 feet in the Whites...

    Here-We-Go-Again Heavy Snow Warning 2/22-23

    OK, I almost started this, but I thought I would give someone else a chance. This storm is looking either amazing or disappointing, ill be honest. Heres why, if anyone is on right now at 10:13 pm Sat or anytime tonight, look at www.intellicast.com, the storm is a dinky little upper level low. As...

    White in NH...Presi Traverse...missing hikers

    John L, Mount Washington cannot measure the same snowfall as the surrounding area, There has actually been quite a bit of snow this year from November - Feb in the Whites, so it has piled up. The month of Feb was very dry overall, but if you look at every single storm this year, Hermit Lakes has...

    Winter Storm Watch Wed>Thurs (2/18-19)

    Warnings up for 8-12 from Central NH through the Whites and into Maine. Because of combination of upslope in the Whites and the upper level low Thursday adding to this, I think the Whites and Maine mountains will see up 18 inches. By the way, do not think there will be much in the way of rain...

    Nearly Identical Elevation, But Very Different Summits: North Twin vs. Eisenhower

    I think it is mostly based on topography, Eisenhower is part of the long Presidential Range that runs north to south from the huge Ammon-Bretton valley. Like someone said, Franconia Ridge has a sig impact on S Twin. Eisenhower gets extreme wind because of this and not allowing any boreal forest...

    Large Snow Storm hitting northern New England 1/28/2009

    As of right now, the storm Tuesday is going to be a huge mess of snow, sleet, freezing rain, then plain rain, all the way to the Canadian Border. It's a large storm, depening to 968 Mill or so and lasting about 2 days. It needs to be watched, but at this point, have very low hopes for much...

This is the same storm that caused all of the power outages and ice from Texas all the way to West Virginia.The low center will revedelop and go over northern Mass then into the Gulf of Maine. The storm will...

    the captain

    Coming from the Bowl on the west side toward the Captain is a route that has been flagged by pink tape. It saved us coming out of there in summer once :( The area is a nightmare, especially with a large wide frame backpack that catches every branch. The col between Hancock and the west side of...

    Jan. 6 snow thread

    Yeah it certainly was a messy storm, but the backside of the storm was kind to Lebanon northward with 2-6 inches last night. Decent upslope/upper level low/lake effect will all play a part today to add to snow totals in the mountains where I think a good 2-4 or 3-6 will fall by tomorrow. The...
