this was actually a pretty good forecast

i have always wondered what exactly happens on May 1 to make it worthy of a countdown. every. single. year.

in what region? last year on 3/5 my pack was down to 4" and I had zero snow on 3/17, not even a stray pile. yeah, it is only 3/12, but i have a long way to go to zero snow as i still have close to a foot in parts of my yard.

what is this rain that was spoken of last night? had a couple sprinkles that amounted to 0.00000000000" of precip

so that’s like 2” less than here that’s fair, no real biggies but sustained pack for sure. But 69” is above average for you, isn’t it?

must have been a big difference between Nashua and MHT, because I wouldn't call this winter forgettable. completely subjective and open to interpretation, of course. what did you end up with on the season?

got home last night and the pack was standing strong with about 99% coverage. woke up this AM and the pack took a beating overnight, sunny front yard is >50% gone, shady side 100% covered, but sunny parts of back yard are going quick, about 75% coverage there. wrap it up.

I give this winter an A-. great pack year, although it was a little less great in the end of Dec and first half of Jan. my pack maxed out at around 2’, which is nothing to sneeze at. Obviously there was plenty of cold around. as of today I am just over average at 74”. Was nice to get out on the local snowmobile trails for a change.

71 at MHT 74 on my sun-drenched thermo 66 at CON, how can that be?

I was worried about ice dams (which would have been a first for me) because my downspouts were frozen solid. after hitting 58 today, no more worries. it’s all flowing nicely. will be no snow on the roof by the end of tomorrow

I’ve been away for a week. what did you get in each event this week?

well I’m doing my best not to bury my sled off-trail, so I’m not really sure but based on past experience, it’s deep, prob close to 3’. Saw a moose up that way up to its chest in the middle of a clearing.

got about 2” overnight up in Pittsburg NH. Pretty toasty today, snowmobile trails down low are getting slushy

So much beer. today was great being outside with temp at 50 in the sun. -15 up north Monday morning is going to be a slap in my wiener when we get ready for snowmobiling.

he is a one trick pony. ATATT
