But a lot of rain and fog affecting visibility, when I have never been there, is another. My friend immediately said we should put it off before I even gave my view.. Still trying to reach my brother. Totally sucks since I wasn't planning on my season being over.

What are the skiing options normally like in mid May, assuming I shoot for going 2 weekends from now?

Car rental and stuff, is a cost, can't blame you. Of course, past performance is no indication of future perfomance. But below you have a couple vids from May 26 and May 27 of last year on Mt. Washington. And that is something to take into consideration, there is more to Mt. Washington then just Tux. Also, I believe it to be worthwhile just for the hike and get familiar with the mountain.
