Happy #MountainMonday! The point seen off in the distance is where I was headed as I began my descent last week from the summit shown in the pic at the beginning of this thread. The #snow/#ice-covered trail winds along the edge of a steep slope (including a cliff) before it disappears into the woods. Harsh conditions- blowing hard, snowing, frigid wind chill. A fun challenge! #hiking #mountains #nature

Photo showing the dark and gray wintry landscape of the trail on top of the mountain. The mountain drops steeply off to the right of the trail. A deep layer of snow is seen in the foreground and extends to the point. Evergreen trees are seen scattered on top of the point and appear dark and without color. The entire image is dimly lit and colorless, as the mid-day sunlight is mostly obscured by the snowfall and low-lying dense clouds The faint dark image of the valley is seen off to the right.

This Is My Glasgow

Today was a bit of a weird one weather-wise. We left Glasgow in sunshine this morning to climb a couple of munros on the Ben Lawers range. By the time we were coming back down, it was snowing. As we drove back to Glasgow, the sun returned, and then by nightfall it was raining. Welcome to Spring in Scotland.

Linux Is Best

Saturday, April 12, 2025, and it is snowing. I may even need to shovel a little.

Old man winter did not seem to get the memo, that this should be spring. And rather than April Showers, bringing May Flowers, we have snow.

Photo is of outside my window, with white snow covering my yard, and a mix of snow and ice on the road, sidewalk, and driveway.

As I approached the summit earlier this week, the trail steepened to the point that “ladders” (stairs) were installed to help hikers. However, the ladders (see pic from a previous summer) were completely covered with #snow and #ice making for a challenge in the ascent/descent. After starting with microspikes, I then put on full crampons to get down safely. #FootpathFriday #hiking #winter

Photo looking up at steep section of snow/ice-covered trail that has a ladder buried under snow. The trail consisted of several inches of powder snow on top of solid ice from a previous melt/freeze cycle. There was no evidence of the presence of the ladder as the snow and ice were deep. My foot prints show that I was sidestepping down to maintain balance. Evergreen trees line the trail. Osseo Trail, White Mountains, New Hampshire.
Photo looking up at set of wooden stairs, referred to as a “ladder” by hikers. The ladder is one of a series of ladders that lead up a particularly steep section of the mountain. I took this photo on an earlier hike in June, 2021 when it was warm and all of the green foliage was out. Osseo Trail, White Mountains, New Hampshire.
