Comments
Comments: 3-4" of snow at the base of the trail, 6-8" after the brook crossings. Some sections up to a foot up high. Decent amount of foot traffic today, but trail was still not really packed. Another few more inches and it may be snowshoe time for it.

Didn't notice much in way of underlying ice, but wore Microspikes just in case.
