I played 6 holes tonight. It was 44-45. No wind though so it wasn’t bad. I had a couple of hand warmers in my pockets.

A guy got cutting a private trail in northern VT. State settles timber trespass case with man who sought to create backcountry ski glades. He cut in a state park south of Jay Peak. There is a link in the story to the VT Backcountry Skiing Handbook. This thing is 96 pages long!

31.9° here but clouds have bumped us up to 33°

You were living in NJ and @WinterWolfwas in CT? Couldn’t that explain why your snow ended by morning and his went into the day?

Great for attendance at the show in Augusta though. The vendors I talked to were pretty happy with it. I even met Eastmark from the HCS forum. Nice guy.

Was coming here to see if anyone knew what the snow level was. I guessed 3000’ when we were coming through the White Mts. on our way home from Augusta, ME. What a miserable day. Rain all the way and temps 37°-45°.

I drove over the Kancamagus coming to Maine Friday and was surprised that there was still some good foliage all along the way. As @powderfreakpointed out, it’s was the understory trees and bushes that were putting on the show. Lots of good oranges and yellows closer to the ground. The main trees are in full stick season mode.

At about 1.75” at my place since Friday around noon.

I don’t know about that. I was there last week and Rt. 9 was stuffed with white plates.

Yeah, I’m thinking I would remember that one. I don’t live too far from there and used to be over there at the golf course 3-4 times a week.

I was just thinking the same on my trip to the transfer station. A lot of the late turners are looking good.

Not to speak for him but chestnut trees were wiped out by a blight around that time. They are likely victims of that.

Mines going the other way. Was a 13 at one point and now I’m almost at 18. Biggest mistake this year was that I tweaked my back but kept trying to play through it. Then one day I buried my club into the ground. Club stopped but I kept going. Really felt something in my back. Had to put away the clubs for 3 weeks. I’ve started to gingerly play a little in the last week or so. The bright side is that I’ve really enjoyed my season at a new golf course. It was hard leaving the old place after 20 years but I think it was worth it.

@dryslotI'm going to be in Augusta for the snowmobile show this weekend. Do you think the rainy forecast will drive up attendance?

Rain picked back up here around 5-6pm? I was 6:19 when I got in my car. I lost my last shot in the dark/leaves so I didn’t even finish the last hole.

Got 9 holes in and it started raining as I was walking off the course.

We got down to 38.4° before the clouds rolled in. Haven’t seen any showers here but I’m sure that right about the time I decide to try and get 9 holes in the rain will come.

Was in @wxmanmitchneighborhood today attending a memorial service in Woodford, VT. Lots of cars on Rt.9. They missed any color there was. Did not see any bodies. They’ve hidden them well.

That’s what I thought too. I left last Friday to drive to southern NH and thought there was some decent color. Came back Sunday evening and it was all just a memory.

Was 35° when the dog woke me up to go out at 3:30. 43° now.

I haven't seen more than 5 minutes of sun since Sunday and I was in southern NH for that.

Grass drags and water races.

Never cleared out overnight and only got down to 42.2°

Yeah, this doesn’t seem like a low temp type night.

Wow. What an ending to the Braves/Phillies game.
