  1. That was story early on here too. At least that has changed. My location has been fringed by the bigger storms but there haven't really been any big negative busts either so we are doing ok. Enough snow to ride from the house although its thin in spots, especially in softwood stands. On the way home from the store just now, I had to stop for the groomer to cross the road before I turned into my driveway so things are getting better.
  2. I know that our criteria for what constitutes a decent winter is basically the same but in terms of snowfall, it doesn't seem like you are that far behind at just under have your average. Retention has been a different story though.
  3. I wonder if any of the areas that jacked in the December storm got walloped again? It seems like your area over towards Ludlow has done well this year
  4. Best storm ever here. 34". My black lab mix jumped of the second step and disappeared like she was diving into a pond.
  5. It is steep. The first time I ever went to the camp was a sleety, snowy night in November. The ride back down the hill was white knuckled. I think the fact that I made it up in the first place was a positive check mark for me with my wife's father and her uncles.
  6. My wife's father grew up on Tracy Hill. His family owned a farm and he had 18 brothers and sisters. The family still has a hunting camp on about an acre of land up ther but I don't think anyone has been there for a few years.
  7. Northfield is a nice town. Norwich University is there. It's the nation's oldest, private military academy. You can get to Sugarbush relatively easily as well as some other ski areas. I was president of the golf course for several years and am still a member there so I spend a lot of time there in summer.
  8. I was thinking that many times when SNE and the MA get whacked, we are smoking cirrus, at least here in NWNNE. At least this time I got just under 4". Would have like more but this is ok.
  9. That's near me. Are you in town or in the hills outside of town?
  10. Just like the Foo Fighters sing about
  11. My idea about these type of occurrences is that it is simply Mother Nature making sure we will have room for all the snow we are going to get. She doesn't want us to be overwhelmed to the point we can't even cross the street because the snowbanks are too high.
  12. I should add that the air was so crystal clear today that the Presidentials looked like you could reach out and touch them. If I had binoculars I probably could have seen Phin disrobing to each model run as it came in.
  13. It was a beautiful day to be out. The first picture is looking towards PF with the Worcester Range between me and him. The second is looking east towards Phin and Alex.
  14. He was. We moved him back here and have been working with him for years to get him to the point he’s at now.
  15. -7.9°/-12.6°. Coldest night of the season for me, by far.
  16. Mud season everywhere away from the slopes.
  17. When I retire, if I leave VT, it will be from March 15 — May 15. Those 2 months suck.
