[at-l] Weather in Maine?!



The time is drawing close for me to depart and the reports from Maine
are toying with my head. Now from what I've read and heard, there is still
plenty of snow on the trail in ME and Baxter is still closed. But, the
weather reports I've seen show mid 60's for the highs. Hmmmm, what are the
odds that the park will still be closed in two weeks? What do I do if it
is? How long will it take for most of the snow to melt? And while I'm
asking questions, how much snow is actually still on
the trail itself?

I didn't plan on having to tackle a couple hundred miles of snow to start
the hike, but I guess I'll deal with it. I just hope I'm taking enough
clothes, I guess the best way to look at it is if I'm moving I won't be
cold and I'll hit the sleeping bag first thing after camp. The calendar
says "12 days and I'm Maine bound" won't be long now!
