I've seen a few mosquitos over the past 2 days...36 hours after low of 24F. Peepers are also out in full force tonight. Looking like an early end to the maple season, atleast in S NH.
Stopped by the lake today not expecting to see much yet, but saw several bass up enjoying the sun in less than a foot of water. Caught one about 2 3/4. Certainly off to an early start this year.
That one north of the Second Lake is interesting. It seems like it's near East Inlet rd or maybe the snowmobile warming hut near Deer Mountain campround. Other than a few camps near Second Lake there's nothing else up there. It wouldn't surprise me if that area and up near the border has 2x the pack of the First Lake based on what I've seen when I've been up there.
Trying to flip back to sloppy snow here. Its unfortunate we lost the lift after the initial burst and that was pretty much it. I wonder if the hilltops just north of me are doing better.
Definitely seems that way watching the Pittsburg obs. There haven't been many of the surprise 6"+ upslope events. Despite the late start, they seem to be salvaging a decent snowmobile season. The lack of thaws certaintly is helping the trails. There should be some upslope this week with all the systems moving through.
