late week storm?

"some areas being better than others." well, how can you be wrong with a catch-all phrase like that!

there's a chance of sun, and a chance of rain or snow, with a possibility of cloudiness, with the winds either calm or variable. Darkness, followed by lightness. And the sox will win the world series....or....not....

ya...we had a pretty decent ice storm - not surprised the single froze up!! Power went off last night around 10 and came on around 5 this morning. Had to run up to Burlington to do a couple errands and there were trees snapped everywhere. The back roads were in pretty rough shape, but the main roads were OK.

I don't think it's meant to be as sneaky as you interpreted it. This time of year, you need to follow the sun and ski the slope aspects that absorb the most of it. Even if it's only barely above freezing, sun makes all the difference on the surface. We are entering the season of the corn cycle...

was painful finally getting to MRG for the first time on Sunday, sitting in the lodge, then packing up and heading back to Long Island...

Reminds me of a "memorable" day at Bretton Woods many years ago. Daytripped there, it was pouring, I mean POURING niar. We spent the morning reading the Sunday paper in the lodge, driving back, finding a nice restaurant on the way and eating like pigs. Not a great Sunday.
