Snow remains late in the spring and fall? 
One party records snow and hail falling the 
early in the autumn, 
latter part of September. 
It is not easy to get a clear view of Ktaadn and many writers have 
been dissapointed. I obtained a good view of the country near 
by but it was in dog-days when the air is thick, and at a distance 
of thirty or forty miles everything appeared hazy gradually grating 
more and more indistinct till it was lost in a blur.
