Here's a picture from Avalon in the last ice climb of the season. Hoping against hope, we drove up to Crawford Notch in late March. Through most of the drive the outside temperature read between 40 - 50 degrees. As we had hoped, once we hit the unpredictable Franconia Notch, it was 30 and snowing.
Hiking up to gain altitude, we were surprised to hit deep snow and fat ice. What a first season! In an unusually warm year I got eight ice days last year. I'll get a lot fewer this year down in DC though. But... I get three weeks on each end of winter.
