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.
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.
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.
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.
Had 2”+ here at home. Went riding through the Groton area and up high it looked more in line with PF’s 4”-5”. Didn’t take many pictures today but it was a gorgeous day to be outside.
Another skiing story from the BBC. Scottish resorts seeing the best snow in years and can’t open.

Not New England but I was just reading a BBC piece about a cross country skiing boom in France. France has 350 ski areas, downhill and cross country and the average cost of a pass is €32. More areas than I would have thought and much cheaper too.
