Thursday temperatures reached 50 degrees in all of New Hampshire. 
Friday it rained in the morning with the possibility of rain all day 
and temps again in the 50's.  Saturday, temps were in the 60's, 70's 
in Concord.  It reached 40 degrees on Mount Washington.  All of the 
natural snow is gone.  Mt Washington does not look so impressive with 
the snow gone.  Crystal Lake was covered in ice on Wednesday, it is 
all gone today.  I am suppose to be teaching skiing today but it is 
raining again.  If it were 20 degrees colder we would have 30 inches 
or more snow on the ground.  Ski areas are in real trouble.  Some 
have already closed for the season.  Some farmers are tapping trees 
for maple syrup 6 weeks before normal.  Inventories of long johns, 
snow suits, down jackets, road salt, snow shovels are not being 
touched.  But many hiking trails are now accessible.  Global warming ?
