28/23, a high of 30. X-country/snowmachine trails holding the snow. I went for a nice long ski tour a little while ago and things are groomed out nicely. Worked my way along a ridge at 1700-1800' and eventually came out at the Worthington Golf Club. We put #1 fairway to good use when the clubs are hanging. The ice fishing has been productive. Good Winter sports fun to be had. Torch smorch.

I always love those trails in the Berks that go into the deep woods like that, after a huge storm it is magical.

No I just go to the real gods country where my grandfather lives in Eastern Quebec and their trails are amazing.. and yes believe it or not there is some snow here not much but there is

What is it you look for in a trail? Snow? Wait, you don't have any so that can't be it. Hot Chocolate stand?

It's amazing how different the climate is in the hills. Look at Pete with his snow.

Meanwhile a 100 or so miles away my lawn is still green. It's crazy.

Even my parents house at 970' in NW CT held all of its snow. I mean, a lot melted but the ground is still covered. NOTHING at UConn, we barely even have piles anymore lol

It's very localized. I bet there is little or no snow left in the main towns of the Berkshires along the route 7 corridor. Zippo anywhere in ENY from POU to GFL, except my little enclave in these hills west of ALB where we have maybe 3 inches of useless crud left on average. And west of here nothing either.

There's something wrong about that campus. Even looking at older weather records there seems to be a real cut off in snow between here and there. I have some patches left on the side of my house and there was more higher up in Union. The Storrs station skews that data around here!

You can see that and the snow at your folks house (and even the nice pocket up by Pete) on the NOHRSC map:

Yep. I have read on here that Willimantic is an absolute snow hole which makes sense since it's in a deep valley. The Storrs campus seems to suck, you're right. Sometimes when Kevin says he's thumping I have -sn and it's a what...10 minute drive? Last year we did well regardless, but that was anomalous so it's hard to tell. We haven't had snow OTG here since Monday night. Awful.

Seeing as I'm in Dot FU.

P.s. I hope a miller a bomb dumps on me in md while you get sleeted in stoors

The Stoors are one of the three races of Hobbits.

In their earliest recorded history the Stoors, like the other Hobbits, lived in the Vale of Anduin. They were a riverside people that dwelt in the Gladden Fields, and were fishermen. They were broader in build than the other Hobbits, and had large hands and feet. Among the Hobbits, the Stoors most resembled men .

Stoors were the only Hobbits who normally grew facial hair. A habit which set them apart from the Harfoots who lived in the mountain foothills, and the Fallohides who lived in forests far to the north, was that many Stoors used boats, and could swim. They also wore boots.

And you don't have to worry about that, since it will "never snow again". Living in places which aren't snowy really turns people bitter huh? Messenger, you, LL. Br00tal.

Eastern Quebec is nice but far from real God's country. I prefer stepping out the backdoor and onto an endless network of trails to driving 8 hrs once a year. Dirty piles in mall parking lots don't count.

Nice with the Tolkien reference.

speaking of, where can I find ACCURATE average snowfall data? I was just using some site that said Torrington's average is 46" a year...it had Storrs at 49" and New Hartford (touches Torrington) at 62"/year. Norfolk at 91". It really doubles Torrington's? No way. Obviously something is wrong. Hartford has 48" on there for crying out loud. Hartford at 150' now gets more snow than Torrington at almost 1k? lol. Is there a site or database which has accurate info?
