Great hike up the Bridal Path to the Greenleaf Hut, mostly cloudy and foggy summits for the first half of the hike.  The cloud cover started to lift as we hiked from the hut up to the summit of Lafayette.  There is still some snow and ice below the treeline - the trail is mostly clear once you are above the treeline.   We actually saw some sunshine on the ridge walk over Mount Lincoln and then onto Little Haystack.  Great views from Haystack.  The Falling Waters trail was snow covered just off the summit, but easy negotiated without the use of crampons (didn't stop me from falling flat twice!).  Stream crossings were a little tricky as the water level is up with snow melt runoff.  Total round trip took 6 hours.
