The white lands of the North. 
 

Everything is slanted up there from the wind:). Which have been ripping. Full blizzard drift busting chokers.

back to full white out down at 1K

Moooore snow!

all things considered, not bad, since it switched to snow yesterday afternoon down in the valley we have 4". Guess I am putting the bike gear away:)

balmy 28F, light snow with 4" overnight. Sneaky powder day

3.5” since I cleared the driveway. The moon is out and the winds are starting to rework the landscape, 12F and dropping

7.5” since the switch, full whiteout conditions, 28 with occasional gusts

proper storm!

over to snow now, should be a fun 12 hours

something is happening, we have every red squirrel, bird feeding now, and four new deer dig pits under the apple tree this morning

We crust:)

33F with a calm mist

2” from the kitchen sink, tomorrow should be more interesting 

This week I have come to appreciate the impact a layer of snow flakes can make. Each day we have picked up a quick layer ii a passing flurry, currently dropping some slow flakes.

The back yard xc ski center has moved scary fast to enjoyable skiing with literally three layers of snow flakes.  Kind of surprised to see us in the 13" bracket for the upcoming event. If that verifies, going to need to move onto steeper slopes:)

6.5” some blue skies visible over the border, the Greens are still snow fencing, 

surprised how dense the snow is considering it fell in sub 10F air

Just home from Burke.

hammering snow, 4” so far

Guessing 3-4” here. Winds are moving it all  now

it will need to come down 1"/hr for the next 6 hours to meet the forecast up here

fingers crossed for 4"

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...
