We're in a cold bubble while the rest of the world is melting. Ironic given the current administration being dead set on dismantling any and all climate initiatives. 

We really are a frog slowly boiling except there's some ice cubes keeping us colder temporarily. But once the veil lifts who knows what will happen.

Took a nice snowmobile ride yesterday. Started out in Boscawen @mahk_webstah, went up and over to Newfound Lake. Up over the hills through Lyme and Bridgewater (I assume near @wxeyeNH)    to Canaan. Had lunch at the Refinery in Andover, then back to the truck. Nice 115 mile round trip. Trails were great aside from corridor 5 near Gene.

You were visiting all of us up here! Refinery is great. Good burgers and fantastic french fries. That’s a beautiful ride which I’ve done part of on my bike.

I’d like to ride the Northern Rail Trail from Lebanon down to the Concord area. I’ve bicycles some of it but never been on it in winter.

It’s flat and fast (but you need to hit it on Saturday-it gets a lot of traffic). A few nice spots to check out, but it can be 50 miles of boring. There are a bunch of trails right off it, a couple small general stores, and a few pizza places. you can also get to the top of Mt Kearsage, which on a nice day has a fantastic view.

Let me know if you do it, I’ll meet you half way

This is an absolutely incredible start to school vacation week. Best ski season in years. Can’t remember the last time we went 2 months without any rain

The "no rainer" is the big differentiatior this winter, even here in PWM where the season didn't really start until 1/11.  Continuous cold, pack, and events have made this an amazing stretch.

it's been more interesting than the last 3 and we've had cold for quite a while. Also, it's not over.

It's pretty much over. It was way more frustrating than last winter in that we had opportunities wasted. Last winter it was flooding rain and warm for like two thirds of it. Yet I still got one great storm whereas this winter averaged like 1.2"/event to claw my way to Idk...23" which is 50% of climo.

We can revisit again at the end of March. The 5- or 6-inch pack I have is concrete now, winds are howling. My dog walked on the top already without breaking through, its only going to get harder.

Well you're in Southbridge which is obviously a better place for winter anyway. I just can't get excited about pack. We don't really do snowpack here I have a southwest facing front yard with no trees. Where I grew up 8 miles north did it very well with dense forest surrounding the yard and about your elevation. I'm under 500' here.

I'll be in Maine next year so that should be much better than here. They have over a 12 inch pack and got mostly snow today. Piles up there are pretty big.
