Looks good right where it is, The muthafukkers do too.

I’ll take this too.  With side of Hell yes.  Keep the snow in the Mtns.  

It seems greedy to complain about 6" in mid-november, but I was really hoping for a fat foot out of this one!  Still, yesterday's sloppy mess laid down the perfect foundation to get the natural trails open.  Dropping ropes in mid november!  Holy snowflakes!

7" here on the valley floor before the change over.  Now it's just straight messy and roof avalanching all over my cleared porch

Yeah... I was (half) kidding.  Last winter (I think) we had a bus in a neighboring town slide into a house due to winter conditions. No injuries.  A few years ago a friend of ours lost a daughter and almost a son due to icing on the way to school.

Enjoy the snow day and skiing!  I love it in that area,

oh my goodness!  that's devastating!!!!

If ever in doubt, school districts (and parents) should err on the side of safety.

Busses in God's country have chains and AWD, correct?  Or are they all tracked vehicles now?

No chains, and to my knowledge - not 4WD.  Bus stopped at the end of my driveway on a hill, only 6 minutes late, and got started without even a hint of a wheel spin.  I was impressed.  Haven't seen any social media reported accidents involving busses, but just because it turned out fine doesn't mean it was a good idea.  Roads were **** well past the time a 2 hour delay would have put busses on the roads.  Friday looks like a slam dunk snow day, and even if it's not, we're going skiing anyway lol. 

I got 7" here in Bartlett, NH before the change over to rain.  Kids didn't even get a delay.  Left a  polite message for the superintendent wondering why he gambled with our children's safety.  Plow guy JUST now made it to my house to plow me out!

How quickly we forget 2015-16... worst winter on record for most of VT, and probably up there for NH/ME...

Yep - see my above post referencing that very winter.  We already have more base than we did all winter in 15-16.  And it's not even thanksgiving yet.  I just hope Ma Nature isn't teasing us with this early season stuff only to yank away the goods during the actual season....

I'm hoping for this thing to cancel school!  We've had a very favorable early season up here with october snows.  I'm hoping for more Snowvember!  Already more snow on the ground than there was in February of '16.
