Comments
Comments: There was 2 inches of fresh snow to start increasing to 4 inches higher up with some minimal drifting. Nineteen Mile Brook Tr could be traveled with light traction but you will want your snowshoes for the rest of the way as the base is still somewhat soft and the snow depth has put the blazes between chest and waist level along the C-M Tr. No views today but a fantastic snowshoe through the freshly fallen snow. I saw no one else nor any other human tracks from today.
