|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Ferncroft Rd. and the road into the parking area were full of frozen ruts. Also, routes 113 and 113A were full of frost heaves, some of which I had to slow down to a near-crawl to drive over safely. |

Ice - Black, Snow - Packed Powder/Loose Granular, Snow/Ice - Postholes |
|

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Only major crossing had a log over it, which was best crossed while wearing light traction. One could rock hop the crossing instead, but beware of black ice on the rocks. |
|

A double blowdown near the summit of Passaconaway, otherwise no major issues. |

 | Comments: |
Dicey's Mill Trail was like a sidewalk from bottom to top, with some old postholes here and there. Light traction was clearly the way to go- most people I saw brought snowshoes, but almost none of them actually wore them. Conditions may change with this next week of mild weather, though. |
