Hurricane Earl turned out to be all bark and no bite … at least here in the Mount Washington Valley area, thank goodness! He was also a very polite storm, giving us absolutely NO wind and confining his brief but torrential rains – moisture we desperately needed -- to a short period during the night. By breakfast this morning the river was running higher than we’ve seen in many months and the sun broke through the clouds to bring us total sunshine and crisp air (what a relief!!); in short, a perfect weekend for the Labor Day holiday. Once again we have a full house, having to turn dozens of spur-of-the-moment travelers elsewhere for accommodations. Temperatures are quite a bit chillier than we’ve experienced in some time … so plan to bundle up tonight, it is going to be down in the ‘40s. Even Mount Washington has had a sudden and drastic change – nothing unusual for them. The 64 degree summit temperatures of a few days ago have been replaced by a wind-chill of 17!
