I can't believe the snow loss in the last 60 hours. Our place at Mount Snow had 33 inches of snow since Friday 12/19 but as of this morning many areas are now completely bare. We've still got about 6-8 " left in the condo lawn. The fields along route 100 in Wilmington had nothing left on the drive by this afternoon. I assume the natural trails I skied last weekend in knee deep powder are now closed or have terrible coverage? Hopefully they'll recover before Friday when I return.
Nothing left at our home in Connecticut except a few piles where the plows stopped.

Still snow in the shady spots, but bare grass most everywhere else. Huge losses in the snowpack up here, as well. Lots of glum people checking into the hotel tonight. I'm trying to reassure them that conditions are almost always better than you expect and with the weather turning colder tonight...

Not sure if they're buying it.

Still some patches in the woods at Sundown, but when I got home this evening, all the snowbanks and piles in my yard were gone. Crazy meltage.

Other than drifts/snowbanks, zippo. In fact I saw 2 peeps riding motorcycles yesterday:puke:

Ditto. Saw one dude on a motard bike (with a nice sounding pipe) and heard a Harley rumbly by.

I washed both vehicles and my ATV this weekend. Ugh.

All I've got left in CT is a few random SMALL snowblower piles :(

Up in VT, I had a solid 1 to 2 feet on the shady/shovel pile/snowplow areas, and a couple of inches of generalized cover on the sunny side of my place when I left Sunday afternoon.

I saw one Motorcycle yesterday...

Unfortunately it was in a ditch off the road and there was a car in someone's front yard on the other side of the street with front end damage and the airbags deployed...

I don't think it went well for the cyclist... :-( (Scene was all blocked off and they were doing accident reconstruction).

This is the first time I can recall seeing drifts around here since fleeing western new york state in 1980. Bare earth in one part of the yard, and an 18" drift on the other side.

What marvels me about New England is how little blowing and drifting snow we ever have. Makes it much easier to preserve those slopeside white assets :)

0-6+" depending on drifting. Still more white than not.
