I saw that story. Did they all go together? The story in the Globe wasn’t clear. The other mountain news was sadder, an experienced hiking guide in NH died Tuesday night in the Whites. He had completed the Pacific Crest, Continental Divide and Appalachian Trails. It just goes to show how dangerous conditions can even get experienced people.

They are comfortable to ride. I know you had a Rev before, which was better than the old style but your new one must be even better.

I believe we built that ourselves but it was before my time. I’ve heard good things about the brush bars too. A number of our clubs have them.

@TheMaineryhis is our groomer with the roller.

Sorry to hear Wiz. It’s never easy watching a loved one go through it.

It snowed all day here, with a high of 7°. Maybe an inch of accumulation?

That’s a Moneypit Mike low.

Spent the entire day outside opening snowmobile trails. The high at my place was 7.3° but we were cutting so many trees and branches that I was actually sweating a good portion of the day. Snowed all day too, which I didn’t expect. This was my favorite type of winter day, cold and a little snow in the air all day.

Up to 0 off a low of -4.5. Not the coldest January airmass but still pretty legit considering it’s overcast and we even got a dusting of snow overnight.

The main January thread has gone to absolute shit. Time to retreat to the NNE thread. Down to 2°, I think that’s my lowest of the season so far. Thats the one thing that bugs me about my Ambient weather station, it will give weekly, monthly and yearly highs and lows but I can’t go back month to month. It doesn’t keep that type of record. I don’t think it got any colder in November or December but I’m not 100% sure.

Do you guys a have a roller? We have one and find that it packs better than sleds or just tracking with the groomer.

They should put one at MPV. That would cover the entire eastern side of the state nicely.

Congratulations. You weren’t going there hoping to see NFC Championship football were you?

It’s getting there. still a lot of red but as the groomers get out there it’s get better. Red is closed, yellow is open but use caution and green is good.

I saw a lot of white plates heading south on 89 Monday. Did they get much of good holiday weekend?

Phewww! Now I can rest easy!

Thank god we have snow pack in the mountains so that we can stave off drought this summer!

The five tool player of weather.

As far as Bolton goes, they may not have anything official but we have @J.Spin who is up there almost daily and measures across the entire ski area. He also regularly provides ski area storm totals from north to south after each event. With his attention to detail, I am sure he would notice if something seemed out of whack.

I know, I was just trying to bait @WinterWolfinto an attack. Lol.

Wow, who’d a thunk the Allagash was a snow hole?

I remember it. Seemed like it would never end. In the middle of it, my boiler died. I had to get a new one and they couldn't get the old wood/coal/oil monster out until spring because there was so much snow in front of the bulkhead door. Luckily the new one was much smaller and could come through the front door. The wife and dog stayed at my father in laws for a week while I stayed home manning space heaters to keep the pipes from freezing. Fun times!
