Miserable today here in Bridgeport. Cold with lots of wind and snow/rain higher up. I was planning on going for a peak tomorrow but looks like I'll have to call it off. Very glad I'm not in the backcountry tonight, looks to be awful.

That should knock the skeeters down a bit. Hopefully.

Amen!

Climbed Mt. Gould yesterday from Kearsarge Pass... Great weather in the valley, finally a little cooler after that heat wave, but absolutely frigid and very windy up high. Bring a windbreaker and gloves

My water tube froze-up climbing Starlight on Saturday. And I got caught in snow shower at the South Lake trailhead around 3 pm Sunday. Maybe it's not so weird that it snows in the summer, but pretty weird when it snows at 10k. Generally froze my a$$ off all weekend.

On Saturday we had freeeezing cold wind and a light dusting of snow on Humphreys, clouds all around us. Was on the summit just long enough to get a pic of ourselves, and sign the register didnt even get to enjoy the view.

Sunday morning we woke to the sound of snow but actually cleared up to be a perfect day for hiking out
