| Comments: |
Blue sky day! Sunshine and negligible wind, consolidated but not sticky snow. Snow best for snowshoes; getting soft for BB'ers. Wonderful day to cruise along, take in views, chat. Cannot be more mellow in March to be above treeline. Paths easy to follow including to Mizpah (should have continued to Jackson on return?) Fine day to be out with B2&DAE. Interesting to speak with Wayne on his multi-mile.
Kestrel data on Ike summit: T=36F W= mostly 0 [peak gust 6.7mph] WC=36 [min=25F] |
