overcast view from the trail to Mount Mansfield in Vermont

We get a glimpse of distant mountains as we head up into the clouds. Later while crossing the ridge we get surprised by wicked winter weather: an estimated 40F with 50mph wind, even though it is June and yesterday was 90F. This guy who hikes in a T-shirt in winter, dons his full emergency shell (hood, jacket and pants)!
