10ply tarp, usually get 3 seasons before I succumb to holes

Brackets, from nicerink.com

1/4” plywood cut for board height. I need 18” on the far side and 10” on the near side

2hp water pump

We tried to skate the pond for a couple winters but it was to inconsistent with water level. The tarp also makes the thaws   more bearable as it is a bonus resurfacing:)

This is from a while ago, it is worth the time off you have the inclination

That's an awesome set-up dude!  Hockey Night in Canada type vibe.

Winter garden PF

Might spend more time preparing and caring than skating and shooting

Max temp 58 today. Defroster 

51 here, just cut wood in a T shirt:)

Snow hanging in all the branches, super quiet skiing

Another 4”  including yesterday and overnight. Looking like real winter now:)

fingers crossed for the weekend

4” new here, valley getting brighter

Interesting cycle we are in. Yard had 8+ now, a steady shower of alternating snow, sleet, freezing rain, Graupel, one blue patch, all congealing to make another 2” since last night. Coldest has been 27 up to 38 pending what the clouds are bringing.

dense pack, can almost feel it turning to ice:)

I’m at 44.96 but not really a regular 

4” overnight

Happy New Year NNE!

For those wondering, currently snowing wicked hahd

Intermittent sink day up here

Started with a generous shellac of freezing rain, then spent most of the day alternating from pellets, snow, rain, freezing rain. 
 

A bit over 2” here at 1080’, like shoveling beach sand

Fingers crossed for tomorrow, a few inches of fluff on this will ski well

Still stacking...

That's awesome. Euro had some thin cirrus clouds run after run for NVT and the jack for all New England ends up near the Canadian border. Nice fronto bands up there for you guys.

Stackable flakes. Postcard snow

It will be whiteout tomorrow 

6”. 

We have 2”, which is 2” more than I expected 

perfect snow. Looking forward to a squally day tomorrow and getting the blue wax on the skis 

Good afternoon for hanging lights outside, didn’t figure I would be able to get it done in a hoody:)

46, moist

I was prepared for the spitting rain this morning, not so much for the 3” of new snow 

0.0” here

living in the fringe, I can see blue skies just over the border 

Snow globe never stopped. High of 22 with a decent N wind, very December for the last day of November 

First sub zero morning, -3 before sunrise. could hear a squirrel fart from fifty yards 

Popping tree morning here, still air and 2F just before the sun made it over the hill

The 5F isn't as bad as the blowing pellets against the ace and the gusty winds cutting through the clothes this morning

Backside NW winds humming now, temps dumping, 12 now, and blowing snow

Nice taste of deep winter 

5.5” so far

sure made the morning walk in the woods with the puppy a lot quieter 

Scrambled yesterday to finish the yard and convert the tractor from mower to blower. 

Temps dropped to 22F after sunrise, light snow now. 6-12"?  we'll see 

I thought it was crazy when it was 66 and we left to walk the town in the pouring rain.

Borderline ridiculous standing with the dog  in the yard at 70
