Mother Nature’s treated us well this season — cold temperatures and plentiful storms — but as of late she’s been in a foul mood. In a repeat of last year’s March, the beginning of the month came with a brutal warmfront, this time with a stretch of highs in the 60s as well as a week of rain that totaled multiple inches.
Most of the state suffered tremendously, with most of the natural snow (besides parking lot piles) disappearing overnight. Even the snowpack in the High Peaks of the Adirondack Park, which stacked consistently for 3 months, became practically nonexistent at the trailhead.
