Just clipped this from WMUR's site:

Looks like we are going to catch a break from the arctic chill as warming takes hold on Monday and Tuesday ahead of our next system. Rain is looking very possible, possibly heavy rain, on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning... this could cause major problems with either flooding or your roof if you don't shovel off, so please consider doing that right away!

:( I had heard that, too. :(

ETA: Then again, at least all of you can take advantage of this beautiful snow this weekend. I'm still recovering. :(

Well, at least it's snowing right NOW! :snow: Came out of nowhere...

This morning's snow stopped hours ago and the sun came out... then I realized it got dark all the sudden. Looked out the window and saw those beautiful fat flakes floating out of the sky. :snow:

Doesn't look too bad in the North Country. Lots of snow showers and the worst they're showing is this:

Monday: A light mix of wintry precipitation in the morning. Then some clearing in the afternoon. High 41F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 40%.

Followed by more snow showers and snow on Wednesday.

This is a tricky time of the year. I have my stash of passes and discount vouchers. I was tempted to go to Cannon tomorrow but Ragged sure can be nice with new snow too. The game plan is to use up my passes from the south and work north. Most years I end up at Killington (clearly not the most northern option..) toward the end of the season as previous owners have enjoyed the bragging rights of staying open longest.

So Ragged it is.

I hope so. Heading to the MRV tomorrow.

I hear you there! We're in the same boat, as well, thinking it would be best to work the same way south to north. Hate to see the passes go to waste. We still have some passes left for Ragged too.

We're actually hoping to get my daughter to meet somewhere between where she lives in VT and here next weekend to use up some passes. It may be either Loon or Cannon....

Is it just me or is this latest system taking the same type of track as many of the others we had last month? :-?

It is depressing,

I am recovering from one of the most incredible 7 day stretches I have ever experienced on the East Coast. I have no complaints. There is another month of wonderful suprises ahead. With the base snowpack on hand, it won't take much!


p.s., a neighbor walked by my house last night as I was taking the ski racks off. She said, in reference to snow "I'm sick of it." I think I may have permanently punctured my tongue , biting it so hard as to prevent saying something unkindly. She already knew where I stand on the issue.
