There has been plenty of good sized storms of late that have hit the whites and Maine. More than a few storms have also stayed south and grazed the coastal downeast but the vast majority of them have been rain instead of snow. This sometimes changes in the last stretch of winter but right now the high summits in NH are about 50/50 between bare and snow covered. In NH the snowmobile trails are closed due to lack of snow and I expect the trails are in similar condition in Maine. At my place in the northern whites my normal snowpack this time of year is 2 to three feet, I see bare patches in much of the woods and I have had so little snow even my snowbanks from infrequent plowing are mostly gone.
Even in the woods up high, many aren't using snow shoes as at most there is foot of new stuff on top of solid crust or copious amounts of ice. If this weather keeps up we could have really early mud season. AT BSP the limiting factor to when they open has been how quickly the park road melts and dries rather than the condition of the trails to summit. With low snow and fewer snowmachines using the road, it too may also melt out early. I am curious if there will be shift of SOBOs this year to take advantage of any early spring?
