Anyone traveling to the White Mountains should prepare for winter-like weather conditions at elevations above 5,000 feet. Wintry and unsettled weather will continue across the higher summits throughout the forecast period.

The summit saw its first measurable snowfall of the season today, with 0.3" of snow measured so far. Below-freezing temperatures, high winds, and fog have also resulted in rime ice for most of the day. Temperatures aren't expected to rise above freezing until the end of the week.

Around 10 pm EDT last night, a brief pocket of clearing provided partial views of the Northern Lights; the horizon glowed green, and a few dim pillars danced by the Big Dipper (upper left of frame) while moonlight lit the clouds and foreground. #NHwx #NH #northernlights #aurora

Sunrise to the east and the western view of the moon this morning. Sunshine, fair weather skies, dampened winds, and temperatures rebounding closer to seasonal averages are on tap for today. Full details at mountwashington.org/experien… #NHwx #NH #sunrise #moonset #mountains
