[at-l] Summer Has Arrived in NH

[KGJ]

Hope your skier had a wet suit on!  We used to ski with wet suits in the Sierras when the snow melt was coming down!

  Two weeks ago the ice was declared out on Crystal Lake and a couple 
  of days later it was out on the big lake, Winnipesaukee.  Three days 
  later the Loons arrived back at Crystal Lake and two day after that i 
  saw my first water skiers of the season.  The water temp is around 40 
  degrees so when she stop skiing and dropped into the water she 
  holler'd up sump'm fierce.  Yesterday the temp reached 88 degrees 
  setting all time records all over the state.  All of the ski areas 
  have closed for the season but there is tons of snow in the mountains 
  still>  I can see Franconia Ridge glowing white in the distance every 
  morning when I drive in to Laconia.  Mount Washington shows up from a 
  different vantage point also covered in snow.  Guess that's why they 
  are called the White Mountains.  Looks like we will have three more 
  days of warm/hot weather before we get back to normal spring temps in 
  the 50's.  The bad side of this is the warm weather has brought out 
  the black flies something fierce.  But maybe a couple of below 
  freezing night will kill a lot of them off.
