Nancy and I have a free day and are thinking about hiking tomorrow. Temps look like they will be 10-20 degrees above normal. And, yes, the wind will be picking up. So probably no ridge walking tomorrow. What I'm really questioning is the snow quality with temps that warm. Will the snow stay consolidated for at least one day with temps in the 40s or are we looking at a death slog through slush?
Originally we were hoping for Lincoln and Lafayette, but the wind may prove too much. So thinking now of South and Middle Carter, still exposed, but not quite as exposed as the Franconia Ridge.
When I checked NOAA yesterday morning the forecast was for sunny, warm and calm winds. How fast it can change.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Pat
