It’s felt pretty similar too. We had a MLK Day storm in ‘07 and a smaller event before the big dog on VD. After that it was a monumental season.

For years our dogs would go to my FIL’s and he lived watching them. When he passed, my MIL did some watching but after she passed, we started taking vacations separately and actually found that we enjoy that, some of the time. We tend to like different types of vacations, my wife love sitting at the beach or around a campfire and relaxing. I like to do things and see stuff and like a different activity or destination every day. My son gets 2 separate vacations and my wife and I get a little break from each other. Once in a while, like when we went to England for 10 days a couple of years ago, we will get a pet sitter but it’s rare.

I think he said he would be in Northfield, which is about 15-20 minutes from me.

More icicle fodder

I have gutters and pretty decent insulation but that wet heavy snow we had in January really had some moisture that seeped out on the non cold days that has built some icicles. Usually I don’t have a lot and none have formed in the last several weeks. I’m raking the roof tomorrow.

Jackpot!

Island Pond touched -25° this morning

I saw a pic posted on FB of a thermo reading -26° in Canaan this morning

That snow projection looks like it hits the same general area of VT that’s been in the jackpot zone repeatedly this year. Ludlow, Manchester, Stratton. @backedgeapproaching approves.

-1.8° here an 0° at KMPV

It’s like the polar opposite of that winter a few years ago where January was below normal for temps and above normal for precip but it warmed up enough for rain and we had very little snow for the month.

Yeah, there can be great riding then, no doubt. But I want snow everyday until March 15th and then it can melt. Our clubs groom until they don’t have snow so that’s not a big issue.

Yep. I’d we could switch instantly to golf weather, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, there is always mud season.

That’s what I though too

Yes but no trails where he lives.

PF takes some great action photos, hope he misses that one!

Happy birthday! @Ginx snewx

Yeah, I'm in the office in Montpelier today and am surprised a little at the snow coming down here right now. Was partly cloudy when I left home, with a solid coating overnight.

I just posted in the storm obs thread that my location is closing in on 2"

I'm closing in on 2"

Next he'll post a chart

You can't work from home to meet the quarantine requirements when you return? My boss (I work for the State of VT) has up and moved herself and her 3 year old to her dad's in NC for the next month and a half. She will have to follow whatever guidance is in place when she returns but she will be working from home throughout.

You take your SNE Metrowest gloating right out of here mister! We have NNE brethren who are suffering a deep trauma and don't any SNE antagonism!

He tried to slide feet first at the goal line. What a wuss. He should have dove head first for the TD. He was going to get pummeled regardless. At least go out like a man!

Don’t forget, the best marketing for the resorts is a foot of snow falling in the big cities. We can have records snow but if it’s dry and mild in the megalopolis, a lot of people don’t think skiing.
