It’s wild how localized this is. I’m a few miles from you in Newmarket and we never lost it once! It flickered for a little while last night but that was all. Very grateful for this. Stay warm!

Honestly, if you have to ask this, you probably aren’t suited to doing this hike right now.

There could be feet of snow, there could be no snow. It could be deadly cold or relatively mild. It could be all of these things in one afternoon. If you’re new to winter hiking, Washington is not the place to start.

If you want to go up that way and give winter hiking a try, I’d recommend Mount Jackson. It’s got great views and is in the Presidentials, but tree line (aka safety and shelter) is easily within reach. For what it’s worth, there is no snow anywhere in the Whites right now.
