On the pavement I'm assuming? Grass and deck have about 2" of paste so far.

The Quabbin needs all the water it can get right about now. Old foundations and roadbeds are already out of the water down around Grave's Landing.

It just turns into a mess. Line freezing in the guides and snapping, the water freezing up and messing with electronics, lithium batteries + the cold can lead to issues and then people are getting towed in. It would be a challenge but could also get really expensive. The last really cold tournament I fished I also had a rod basically explode in my hand on a hookset and had to get graphite/carbon fiber splinters taken out of my hand at urgent care.

Yup, today was supposed to be the first fishing tournament of the year.

Yes, I was surprised to hear that. They specifically said coldest start to a game, I would think some games have gotten colder come the 9th inning.

Ah, not much for wind here yet. HRRR is interesting, there would be a lot of surprised folks in the mid-coast area. We are pasted.

Some of the best rates and largest flakes of the season, radar just keeps filling in.

Accidents all over the secondary roads, sounds like cars backed up for miles between here and Freeport/Yarmouth. Just over 6" down since 13:00.

Dusting of snow now pounding graupel.

Looks like we will head up to ski Pleasant tomorrow night. Damn kid is skiing as much as she is in school the past month.

It's such a gem. My last run was at 3:30 and there were still fresh turns in glades on the map. I didn't even bother with the Moxie hike.

I don't know ow how much snow fell at home in Gray but I saw 3-4" per stuff at Black Mountain in Rumford with 3-4'+ drifts. Several kids had to be dug out of the glades/tree wells there today. At a couple points I was chest deep.

Quite the bump up for most. I think Friday night we were 4-6" and now on the edge of the 8-12" range.

U.S. vs. Canada in Nations Face-Off. Happy the NHL replaced the All-Star game with this.

Grilling steak in the dumping snow and watching the craziest hockey I've seen. Cheers to winter.
