You are not really fixing this with a night or two of snow making. Hopefully, if we do get a cutter next week, it’s not an absolute torch like this one. No safe pond ice between here and Caribou and probably not much ice at all. Expand Bad as it gets for winter recreation. Not sure what we’ll do with the kids for the next 10 days; can only do so many puzzles. I guess the silver lining is that the lack of significant ice kept this from being more of a flooding disaster for some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse than December. Of course 2011 and 2014 were exceptions, but more often than not the first half of January has been a lame period ever since the turn of the century. Expand Prob just coincidence. Up here, in addition to 2011/2014, we had a monster on 1/4/18 that whiffed down in DC/BWI. We had a pretty good one on 1/7-8/17 too...and actually one of the few good storms that hit New England in 2010 that whiffed the mid-Atlantic happened on a retro job from Jan 1-3, 2010.

Damage In Tolland Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 When you wipe out snow literally to the Laurentian shield like this one did ..( I never thought that would actually verify last week when I jokingly said it) you just know not to expect much from the winter. I mean every ski resort in NY state closed.. I’m sure most in SNE shut and I don’t know about VT, NH and ME. This one was a top cutter . The NYE one looks identical.
