Couple questions for the active snowmobilers amongst us here:  

I looked at a property today that I'm really interested in but it's got a local snowmobile club trail bisecting a portion of it.  It's not a corridor or primary trail - it's specifically listed as a "secondary" and "club trail".  Is it possible to say what kind of frequency trails like this are accessed/used?  Is it frowned upon if/when trails are rerouted on the same property?  Are these trails used in the summer?

This is a rural vacant building lot and a location to build a house is above the existing trail by about 250 feet in a straight line and maybe 75 to 100 feet in elevation.  Seems close for someone who's looking for significant privacy (me!) and am seriously considering this property.  

Tagging a few people here who I've seen post about snowmobiling in case you have any input on this - TIA:  @WinterWolf @dryslot @mreaves

In NH it works the same way as @mreaves and @dryslot said. The local club should me more than willing to work with you on a trail reroute on your property. how often that it is used totally depends on the location and where the trail goes. as far as summertime use, in NH unless land is posted, people can use it legally. the snowmobile club won't have a say in that, but your neighbors might use it. If you don't want any motorized vehicles (dirt bikes, ATVs, etc), then you will need to post it to restrict that use. that would be enforced by local law enforcement.

Off topic, but interested in buying a property in Thornton, NH. Anyone have any input on that area as far as how they feel about it and it’s proximity to the Whites and also snowfall and weather in general? 

@MarkO has a place up that way I think.

temp above 32 for first time since 12/28. finally some ice melted off the driveway, but the shady part of it is going to need more than 33 degrees

picked up 1.5" last night, just short of 20" on the season. as @HIPPYVALLEY said last night, it's been wintery, just not memorable. but 6 winter events since 12/23 is pretty good, just not a ton of depth to show for it

Have you been on a model website in 2026 yet?

does onlyfans.com count?

i am as ACATT as they come, but not this week. I really need to get some temps above freezing, as my driveway is still glare ice from the shit last week, whatever day that was. I've been able to get away without having to sand/salt it, but it is terrifying walking on it right now. i took a little digger yesterday as I was cleaning the nuisance 1/2" off it (with the hope that the sun would melt it a bit). So far all that the sun is doing is melting the top layer just enough so it melts then refreezes to an even smoother surface then it was.

Yeah next weekend is looking quite warm. Probably close to 60 in NYC and 60s to 65 or so from Philly to DC. Rain or not, very warm 

This is the New England forum. most of us don’t give a shit about the mid Atlantic

Before that pattern sets up there is a brief window for a good coastal. Prob between about 1/14-1/18 or so. 

I’m flying in and out of MHT on 1/15 & 1/19. you can lock in a storm on one or both of those days.

Yeah if i recall most of the obs locally were 3-4" in that one. That 2.5" would put them over 5" for that event. 

I had 4.5” in that, ~10 miles NW of there, sitting at 16.5” on the season

 I’ve had one double digit storm (and it was barely double digits) since Feb 2022. This truly feels like that 1988-1992 stretch except warmer (at least prior to last winter) and not quite as paltry on seasonal snow totals here…but close enough. 
 

Really could use a big storm to break the drought. 

before 2018, i averaged ~2 double digits storms per year. Since then i have had 5 in the last 8 years.

1/4/18, 12/17/20, 1/23/23, 3/4/23, 3/14/23

it's no coincidence that the winter of 2022-2023 was my only above-average snowfall season in that 8 years.

Are you reading the map correctly Stevie?

Sure am Kevvie. had you said 1-2 I think we all would have agreed.

15 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said:

I’m fully thinking 1-2 here. 1 there 

Oh there it is!

colder than normal here, but December snow has been perfectly average. 16” avg Dec, 16.5” MTD. If not for that warm Rainer a week or so ago I would be perfectly content and able to ride the local trails.

Just got back from Newington where it was 38 and lots of melting.  At home, we can't seem to crest 34.  Heading out shortly to shovel what I can because like you said, this is all going to lock up for the next few days!

looks just like the temp graph at mi casa, except my high temp was 32.7 (so far). Been rotting at 32.2-32.4 all day.

GYX going aggressive. Might be a few fender benders on 93 tomorrow morning.

no question about I-93. Of course I need to go MHT to CON for an appt at 8:30 tomorrow morning

The salt usage is an interesting debate. Studies show far more is used than is needed, contributing to  increasing environmental impacts. On the other hand, it can be snowing 1"/hr and people are still blasting road conditions on social media. 

93 goes between Canobie Lake and Cobbetts Pond here in Windham and both have elevated chloride levels. 

Didn’t the state agree to use less salt in that area of I-93 as part of the widening project?

B-?
I respect your forecasts and you putting yourself out there, I really do. Had you not put in the 6-10” area you would have had an A for sure. But you owned up to that mistake which is admirable. I guess I’m not sure that I agree with your grading, but as I type this I’m not sure you were that far off with your grade. C+ maybe?
