    The northern Greens have gained some snow the last week or two. Was -18 when I got up so decided to get a later start to our ride. Was 0 when we left at 10:00 am. Beautiful day to be out.

    Mine are covered with snow.

    I’d like it a bit colder, just to help with retention and pack building but I do appreciate the break on the heating bills.

    No doubt. That year was worse and so was 15/16. 05/06 was worse too. This one has been below average in some respects but I’ve had snow in my yard since November 12, though it got down to patches at least once. It hasn’t been able build deep pack or sustain cold temps so some winter activities have been hampered.

    I remember many, many -30s in Canaan, Island Pond and other NEK spots in the 70’s & 80’s. -32 at IP this morning.

    Yikes. I just saw a post on a sled FB site saying the same thing happened to them on Rt. 16 in Ossipee, NH. It’s the law here in VT. Glad you’re ok.

    It has been a spectacular day. You can really tell how snow starved we had been. I don’t know the last time I saw so many people on snowmobile trails. Not just speeders either, skiers, snowshoers and people just out for a walk.

    We live in a beautiful place.

    Nice pics below. I live in Barre and work in Montpelier at the Attorney General’s office. Montpelier is a neat town. A couple of good restaurants. Pretty much shuts down after 5:00 and on weekends when all of us state employees go home.

    Beautiful night for a snowmobile ride. The moon is gorgeous. Wish my picture did it justice.

    Capital Plaza? I work across the street.

    I can’t believe your boss made you work until 5:30. What a slave driver!

    Watch out for drifting and white outs on your way up. The high elevation on I-89 between exits 3 and 7 can get particularly bad.

    Hopefully you’re here already Fozz. The roads are not good.

    I'm glad that I'm not the only having a hard time describing what has been coming out of the sky. Similar to you, we have a pretty thick crust but no glazing to speak of.

    Everything had stopped by the time I came out of the gym half an hour ago. About 3.5” with a crust.

    Because of the hate and/or lack of interest in the main thread, I figured I'd post some expected storm total charts here.

    You may have passed me somewhere between Bangor and Augusta Sunday afternoon. I saw a couple trucks with Mass plates and sleds in back fly by.

    330 to Millinocket from here and just over 6 hours. It’s a bitch going East/West in NNE. I generally ride from home. Can even do that now, though it’s a bit scratchy until you get a little higher up in elevation. Early and late season I can trailer to a great parking lot 20 minutes away and for the very end or earliest start about an hour and a half up to the NEK.

    It really is a beautiful area. I read Thoreau's Maine Woods when I was young and really loved it. For any number of reason's I never did that exploring it made me dream of. This trip really rekindled my interest in that area.

    I think I have now driven through the towns of all our NNE posters. Decided to take Rt.2 home from ME yesterday and drove through Tamarack's town of New Sharon. I think he's making up his great snowpack retention, in fact, I think I saw palm trees! Just kidding. It was interesting to see the ebb and flow of snow on the way through. The Rumford area seemed to have a decent amount on the ground. Of course the one thing I remember about Rumford is the smell of the paper mill and it's still there.

    I feel bad for Finau, he just can't seem to get over the finish line. I listened to quite a bit of it on satellite radio driving home from Maine. Stopped for dinner with Finau leading by 2, came back out to hear Simpson sink the winning putt.

    Couple of more pics from our short ride this morning.
