NORTH CONWAY, N.H. - A Massachusetts woman is recovering from frostbite after she and her hiking partner were overwhelmed by snow and wind on New Hampshire's Mount Washington.

Kathryn McKee tells WBZ-TV there was a terrifying moment when she realized they couldn't survive on their own.

"It started like any other hike, we were out on the trail by 7:30," McKee said. "Our goal that day was to hike Mount Monroe and Mount Jefferson. It was going to be a challenging day."
