Meh

Little Averill Pond, VT

I think the best way to challenge the notions of a foliage let down is to get out there in the woods. What is dull from across the valley or from a road side view regains it’s magic in the sunlight, or even in a cloudy mist

Still waiting for the garden to dry enough to till, but first two mowing sessions complete, clean up of more blow downs than ever in our back woods, and some good, albeit chilly pedaling. 

We got in one last ski Wed night, likely the last night to ski continuous from the lift. The fork is in.

one goes out, another comes in...

That is a good looking cat!

I’ll take more like today. Always feels wrong walking outside with shorts on after the winter season

Robin’s looked pissed

Not sure what just witnessed. Maybe the first thunderstorm that was simultaneously a complete white out 

back to blue skies and Spring now 

Same temp as yesterday, different look to the yard though...

Foundation program for our local elementary schools. 7 full days at Jay scattered throughout the season. morning group lessons, afternoon fun ski. Our last is this Thursday..Caledonia county has the same at Burke. 

FWIW: I’m a Mainer hiding in VT:)

Ahh Spring.  Beautiful wind driven snow and 22F

Probably not a bad idea considering our valley river was starting to flood, lots of standing water and more field ice than I have ever seen. We get a solo freeze today I may skate to the mountain tomorrow

I wish it still looked like that Radarman

great picture!

Summit trees are buried, 6' trail fencing buried,  a whole lot of snow going into April

What is this heavy snow you speak of Jspin?

Tale of two seasons at Burke this weekend

Pow feast yesterday and a Spring feast today

love March.

6” overnight(14” for the event)

NW winds doing there thing now, temps down to 25

Good storm, that is a lot of snow. The Mt must be buried. 

Feels like November all over again

16” in South Wheelock under Stannard Mt.

still snowing!!

Yowza! Wasn’t expecting this on the hill. Feel fortunate the snowblower could move it, 8” of heaaavy snow. Still on 32 and steady snow

noticeable difference at 1900’. We left Jay in wind driven heavy snow. Probably 8” there at close, but ripping and colder. The paste line was particularly noticeable about   500’ below the parking lot

4-5” at J 

some pingers now and starting to crank up again

eerily not windy

inch an hour rates

1" so far

Heavy paste 

Expected the 40 this morning

Did not expect the lightning show and thunderstorm

Pinwheel season begins

This morning was my best morning on the hill.  Place was empty ghost town for 8" overnight.  Love these upslope events that don't bring the crowds... no named Noreaster, no media hype with TWC posting snow maps...just lots of pow for those that sort-of pay attention.

It was curiously empty up here too PF

Seemed everyone new each other in the line up for first chairs. Seasons are changing as the topic of the morning revolved around boiling

5”? For us, winds really worked it around. 

chasing flakes having a banner Jay day

It was a top 5 for the season. 

Full white out now

snowed all day but only amounted to 2”

soft turns tomorrow and then looking forward to feeling 50

2” so far up here of surprise snow. Just doesn’t want to stop

Fingers crossed for the weekend storm.

Speaking of snowbanks, an unplanned route from the Montreal airport last weekend took us through Bolton-est. full size truck and the banks were overhead! Looked like their microclimate never received rain

Another 3.5”. 

23, heavy horizontal snow from the south

Just won’t stop it seems

3” here. 

From Jay today(FB post)

Certainly better than last weekend
