Here is what I received from one of my friends in NH:
"A 43 yr. and 45 yr (I think) old husband and wife team from Andover, Mass., went up Lafayette on Sunday, then got trapped in whiteout sub zero conditions. Crawled into a snow cave. Tried to come down Monday, but were too weak or conditions wouldn't allow them, so spent a second night in a cave. Didn't have overnight gear, just dayhiking stuff. He survived with only mild hypothermia and frost bite damage, she didn't. Her body core was 43 degrees and frost in her airways. They had to helicopter them off. That is all I have for now. Hope it isn't somebody you know."
If the temperatures were not sub-zero on Sunday night, they very well could have been on Monday night. Compare with the other thread about the two women ice climbers who dug into a snowbank on the Alpine Garden and survived temperatures that remained well above zero on Sunday night.
The fourth fatality in the Whites this winter by my count, two from exposure, two from falls. A very tragic couple of months. Just because the calendar says spring does not mean we can let our guard down. Let us be careful out there.
