A later November early December snow storm would hit the spot. When I was a kid it seemed we always got the first decent storm beginning of December although I remember a couple of Thanksgiving snow storms that cancelled the High School games
AS much as I love winter weather and would love to 2015 repeat I don't want any part of an ice storm like that, I was lucky in 08, I was at 33 degrees and just wet but I remember I had an appt in Fitchburg about 3-4 days after the event and it was no lights and all I could hear were generators, on the ride up 190 it looked like a bomb went off with the tree damage.
I read somewhere that he said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and brought it to social media and he shouldn't have. I don't follow him on any social media, maybe the answer's there.
That's what we used to do, get 6-8 people and split the lodging for the weekend, get skiing in Friday, Saturday and Sunday, go home Sunday night, really helped to spread the cost.
If I was younger and free I'd go up north for a year or two, find a job, rent a place and see how it goes. Too many roots down here and at my age too late, wish I did it when I was younger.
