Yes, it's been single-digits at the summits of the Presidential Range. Cool (high 40's to low 50's), with drizzle and fog, in the valleys. Hoping the rain holds out around sunset (or at least doesn't get any worse), as I'd like to do some moose-spotting along Rt 302 this evening, before dinner. If the weather breaks at all tomorrow, I'll be hunting down the various pumpkin displays around town, visiting several of the area's covered bridges, and perhaps stopping by the Lower Falls of the Swift River, along the Kancamagus Highway. If it were gauranteed to be nice, I'd be thinking the Crawford Notch train out of North Conway, and the Mt. Washington Auto Road (I was so hoping for a kilted shot at the summit!)
