NORTH CONWAY, N.H. - Winter is here, at least on the summit of New England's highest peak. The New Hampshire State Parks Department shared photos Thursday showing a snowy scene atop Mount Washington.

"Park staff awoke to full winter conditions at the summit this morning!" the department posted to Facebook, along with pictures of the snow-covered landscape. "A little snow accompanied by temperatures in the mid-20s today, winds up to 60 mph, and wind chill values in the single digits remind us that winter comes early at the top of New England!"

The 60-acre park overlooking the White Mountain National Forest is closed all day because of the weather conditions. The Mount Washington Auto Road and Cog Railway are not taking visitors to the summit but remain open for mid-mountain travel.
