In the spirit of the snow/wind storm that I am currently experiencing here in SE Massachusetts, I am sharing some pics from last week’s hike in the White , NH illustrating the large amount of snow that was there. (Upper left) trail junction 2/3 up the mountain; (Upper right) same spot last June; (Lower left) alpine zone near final ascent; (Lower right) halfway down.

Photo of trail signs in snowy forest. The snow is up to the bottom of the signs.Same signs as in upper left photo as seen in June, 2025. Green foliage surrounds the sign. The signs are mounted on a post that is about five feet long, suggesting that there was 4-5 feet deep snow in the winter picture. Trail in snowy forest. The short green trees are heavily covered with large clumps of snow and bending over from the weight of the snow. I had to lean over to make it through this trail. Isolated small evergreen tree with very large clump of snow on top. The clump is larger than the exposed part of the tree.
