    It had its moments.

    It's pouring rain this morning. I am severely worried about our warming winters in the Boston area. At least there's snow up north!
    Oh geeeze. Once in a great while I miss the snowy winters in MA (mainly when the topic of xc skiing comes up), but the icy rains and slush I am very happy to do without! You have my sympathies.

    Well, over a foot of new snow, although with a bit of rain last night, it has definitely become very heavy. Home from work today because of schools everywhere being cancelled, but will have to wait for the snow to settle a bit... extremely heavy at this point. However, I'm excited to see it and thinking about buying some back country ski's.

    Lucky you to have good snow! Here in York County it has been raining all day today so we have puddles and slush and yuck; about three inches of snow fell yesterday where I am but it's mostly gone now. Was going to do the group run from the Y this evening but it doesn't sound too appealing in this weather, will probably swim instead (once the swim team practices are done for the night...). Hoping for some decent snow this winter to learn to XC ski--got all the equipment last year (good Craigslist find) and then didn't even get to use it!

    Jolt... I will admit that it has been raining/snow here all day as well. Temps are pretty warm, so there is a bit of slush, but I would expect that with the warmer temps. here's to hoping that you receive some snow as well... can't wait to get out on ski's!!!

    Solo, I trust you aren't in Denver right now? We got a little snow last week and I've heard forecasts of only 1" - 4" tonight and tomorrow. Not enough to XC or snow shoe but too much to mountain bike

    Yes I am in Denver..but where DH and I go backcountry skiing they got 12 inches over the last 24 hours and more is on the way. :-) I have been keeping an eye on certain web cams and the road has been covered in snow. :-) Now as long as my back behaves I will be good to go.

    We got our first real storm since an early storm in October. We've had well over 2 feet of snow at my house. All of the ski areas finally opened. I'm going to try to go XC skiing today if the wind calms down. Yay!

    We are getting a little snow on XMas, but not enough to ski. There was a big storm predicted for Thursday, but now it looks like it's going to be too warm. While I appreciate the weather not messing up my work schedule, I really want to ski .

    We had a nice snowstorm in mid-December that allowed me to get out ONE NIGHT after work for a nice outing in excellent conditions. Those conditions disappeared before the week was over thanks to RAIN. Since then, meager flurries. Sigh... getting tired of our recent pathetic winters. Heading up to the North Shore this weekend, hoping for better conditions.

    We are finally getting some much needed snow. It is still a little thin in some areas but very enjoyable despite the few rocks that I found.

    Well, not sure what the "Northeaster" will bring here, but after shoveling the driveway and getting some lunch.. I'm headed out on my 'maiden' voyage for the year. I just shoveled about 8", so there should be enough coverage over all of the ice/crusty snow to get in a short ski. More snow will only mean more coverage

    The snow here turned to rain, but there's 10 inches at Windblown and they are opening tomorrow!
    I will be there Saturday.

    We have snow, and my lungs (and nose and throat and sinuses) finally consented to let me out of doors. Aaaahhh.... :-)
