You know what I think all that snow was???  I think it was what got blown off 
of Mt Washington in that storm.  The wind was so fierce that much of the 
mountain was blown clear.  I think it all blew down into the Notch.  I live 5 
miles down Rt 16 from the Visitors Center in the Notch.  I *only* got 31 
inches.  

I drove out of Pinkham, and then through Crawford and Franconia notches on my 
way to a meeting yesterday (such a rough commute I sometimes have to deal 
with! hehe).  There was less wind on the west side of the notches - so more 
snow still in the trees than we have over here.  Absolutely beautiful.  Of 
course, I watched for hikers at the crossings.  Nobody to offer trail magic to 
this time.

And yes - it's raining hard right now, and it's supposed to drop an inch or 
more of rain on top of all this snow.  It is a nasty day.  Then it's all going 
to freeze up tomorrow and Saturday. With more snow on Monday. I'm not sure 
I'll be able to get up and down my lane (nice little hill).  I've got a very 
bad cold starting up (chest cold).  Maybe I'll just call in sick all week and 
stay home.
