[at-l] NH Weather

Art,

You brought back some very pleasant memories to me.  Cannon Mountain was 
the first mountain I ever climbed.  I was 14,  with my parents and two 
younger brothers.  I fell in love with the mountains that day.  My 
parents loved the outdoors and we continued to hike much of the Whites 
after that.  I will never forget Cannon Mt.
