Just finished the driveway and walk.

Were headed out to xc this afternoon. Driving up the Taconic to Fahnestock. Not open but there are trails and 13" of new snow. Will bring skis and snowshoes and make a gametime decision.

Yeah, mid-morning in coastal NH when we had 4-5” or so, the snow was packed very dense, but it’s dry. Good stuff but not so useful here. Gunstock is at 10” an hour away though so that’s something.

IDK where I read 13" but there was about 8" and the groomers were out packing the trails with rollers behind snowmobiles. Place was not open but we ere able to park about 1/4 mile away and ski a snowshoe trail to the xc trails. saw a few others out there. Good workout.

I’m in Nashua and found it light and fluffy. Went to Pats Peak today and it was so good. Snowblower 6” or so before leaving then came home to another easy 6” more

Just got done snowblowing and thought it was one of the lighter snows in recent years. Ragged probably close to a foot today, helpful but not nearly enough to get any new terrain open.

Ended up with 10" in Lee, still snowing lightly. Plowed 45 accounts, some twice after an additional 4" or so fell late this afternoon. Not snowball snow, never got above 24 IMBY today.

15-16" Super light almost Utah blower like snow in the Merrimack Valley of SNH. Still snowing but slowed way down.
