.... Must admit I'm also nervous about the potential of a snowy road getting to Cannon from the south. Have driven in a blizzard on the 2-lane section of I-93 from Lincoln on a day that was clear everywhere else.....
Yes, Franconia Notch is scary in a squall or blizzard. As is Crawford Notch and Pinkham Notch. They are all difficult when the snow falls. Don't drive on hwy 112 either, the Kancamagus Highway, across the state when it's snowing. No no no. So scary.
Been there, done that, at NIGHT, in Franconia Notch and on the Kanc. Definitely not recommended. A lot of snow can fall in a short amount of time and you better have good snow tires and high clearance beneath your chassis to get through it. There will be no cell phone coverage, and if you slide off the road, well, not good.
But, if you have to go through that notch to get to Cannon from wherever you're staying, then you have to go through it to get to Bretton Woods too. Last season I drove through the notch every work day, all season long, both ways, to get to and from work at BWoods from Lincoln. Never ran into snow. Lucky.
