Comments
Comments: Despite NOAA's rather ominous forecast the temp at the Hancock Overlook Lot was between 12 and 14 with almost no wind. The bluebird skies also helped the morning feel a lot warmer. The trail was/is in great shape! Many thanks to all those who broke out this trail. It is a snowshoe sidewalk!

I ran into Sunshine and Pemi and enjoyed reconnecting while taking opposite routes on the loop. A great day to be out despite the possibility of seriously cold wind chill values.
