Hello all. I'm new to the forum and planning a 2016 nobo thru hike. My plans are to start sometime in mid March. Forgive me if my question has already been answered in another thread. What kind of weather can be expected starting out in mid March? Am I going to be experiencing snow accumulation that is going to warrant wearing boots? My plan is to go light when it comes to footwear. Trail runners or something closely related. I just don't want to be stuck on some mountain top with 6 inches of snow wearing a pair of trail runners. Just wondering what others wear starting out in March and what can be expected as far as snow goes. Thanks
