  1. The guy in the excavator has a pretty big job ahead of him.
  2. That was the difference here. That wet, heavy snow we got in January froze into a pretty good base that really helped us maintain a solid, but short season.
  3. If it happened last night, there are clubs in VT that would have been grooming. Woodford has had pretty good snow and I know guys who rode there yesterday.
  4. Well, looks like I should have read the posts below the one I quoted!
  5. Will grooming be done in northern ME by the time this “could” happen? If there was any possibility, I would consider making the drive and buying a : day registration.
  6. They are still riding in Bennington county though by the time this would happen, it will likely be gone.
  7. NNE Warm Season thread seems a bit early. I'll blame you for jinxing us if it snows 2" again in the middle of May
  8. I’m done with it. Don’t need it, I can’t do anything with it now.
  9. Our golf course superintendent would aerate once at the end of May and once at the end of August. Seemed to work well for him. Of course adjust for climate.
  10. Underwater drone tests in the NEK https://vtdigger.org/2021/03/21/arctic-scientists-test-underwater-drone-on-willoughby-lake/
  11. Same with snowmobiling. I always wear a balaclava under my helmet so when that’s off, I pull it up over my nose and mouth if I’m close to other people.
  12. I would have guessed that the snowmobiling community was a bit more “anti-mask” than most but I saw very good adherence in general nearly everywhere you would expect it. Like you guys said though, what’s the purpose when you’re not physically close to anyone and outside? As far as immune systems go, I agree as well. Exposure to stuff early is what builds immunity to all sorts of disease. I don’t think we want to mess with that all that much.
  13. Has to be right. I put away all the snow removal equipment today.
  14. The credit union we used for our first mortgage didn’t do escrow. I hated it. When we refinanced the first time we went to a bank that has escrow. We are now back with our credit union and now they escrow. I’m glad that I have one payment a month and don’t have to worry about late taxes or insurance payments. Of course using my local credit union means I have a little more trust than with some big lender.
  15. Still just feels like someone punched me in the arm. No other effects.
  16. Now that I don’t run a golf course that is very vulnerable to drought, I am less concerned than I used to be.
  17. Second shot 4 hours ago. No effects yet.
  18. Or break it into 3 11”ers, one each in D,J and F. Then the winter looks ok with a crappy March
  19. The fact that we got that heavy, wet snow to establish a base after the grinch storm and it never thawed was way salvaged the season for us. Further east, where they got screwed, never really recovered.
  20. That’s a good explanation. By this time, I’m getting antsy for golf. I’ll do winter stuff as long as conditions permit but I start mentally turning the page about March 15th or so.
  21. Yes, retention was not great. This year we didn’t suffer a lot of loss between new year and March. It was a solid stretch that would have been better with more snow. I rate it a C- It was good for a relatively short time.
