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

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