Most know here I am at.
Finished tile prep thought I was going to get a ride in. Started squalling around 3 and about an inch on the geound now. Kinda funny to go from no freeze to snow in < 24 hours.
Looking out my window

Drove from Albania to Plattsburgh and back today. Light snow squalls from Lake George north this morning.
Saw the same view of Mansfield but from a bit farther away. Spent a fair bit of time partying in Tupper in the very early 80s.

To be filed under the proud parent category: Picked up the kid from school today and she says, "you know it snowed on the mountain today" in an excited voice, I say yes, I even drove out of my way to take a look at the mountain to check it out, she responds, "remember last season you said I could stay home from school one day if it snowed before the resort opened so we could go hike and get first turns, can we go tomorrow?":biggrin:
We told the story at dinner and the wifey just didn't seem to get the same sense of pride out of it as I did. I had to remind jr that I'm still a good 6-8 wks away from being out of gimp central but the whole conversation made me smile and evoked a little fear at the same time since high school is only a few years away. I can imagine the principal email now, "your daughter has not been at school for several days and since we haven't heard from you or your wife we are just calling to see if she is ok"...ohhh, shit:nonono2:!
EOB - Not only do we now know where you live but to scare you a bit more, I could be at your door in about 5 minutes, save me a beer!
Fuck yeah.
Winter tires are on.
Nothing is set in stone...but I should be skiing this weekend.
I need to figure my logistics like where am I sleeping on Friday (Montreal or Townships) and Saturday night. Leaving Ottawa tomorrow and crossing the border early Saturday morning. What out for moose.
Odds are that it going to be at Sunday River. And skiing on Saturday.
Unless I go for the real longshot and decide to go to the zoo, oops I mean at the beast, on the 2for1 at ski Kmart on Saturday then the River on Sunday.
This is going to be a short drive compared to last October turns in West Virginia.
33.4`bob. Coverage is better this morning with approx 1.5" on the ground at 1800', you fast grassers and opening day clusterfuck skiers be careful.
The Notch road is currently closed.

Stowe Mountain Resort -- Reports of half a foot on the upper mountain right now.
about an hour ago via mobile
I'll probably get there around 1ish today.
(Tempted to ride the lifts at Killington -- courtesy of my WaWachusett cheapo midweek pass for "victory laps" after dawn patrol skinning, oh the irony -- but too many brutal memories of skiing under those snow guns back in the day...)
Instant winter! Very nice to see. Explains the constant twitching... :)
Enjoy the weekend all.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using TGR Forums

Seems like this thread came just in time for this season.
Dutchman, I will be paying some homage to Ullr this pm if you catch my drift. :biggrin:
Not sure why everyone's posting these mountain pics?...
Foliage is way past peak!
