We might get screwed with snow jackpots but the northern part of the Pioneer Valley (Greenfield to Brattleboro) is like another planet wrt winter torches. High of 48° today and currently 30/29. Cloudy until about 3pm.
Yup, good way to tear a few knees up on soft ice. I had gotten invited a few weeks ago but declined over Christmas based on what looked like a rainy forecast.
I feel like December can be pretty meaningless in terms of how good snow winter we have. However, I think December is vital in terms of how good/safe of a pond ice winter we have in SNE.
Oh' man that is a slippery slope. You need to be really patient and have focused consideration of where you take first time XC novices. Otherwise they will never try again.
28/27 with full sun and no wind. Not too bad out today.
We currently have about 20 robins in our backyard pecking at the ground. I’ve never seen anything like it. It must be a group that migrated down from the north?
