I could be crazy but I went outside to get something out of my car and it's cold, very windy and snowing....I think it's called a blizzard! Probably just a squall but it sure feels and looks like winter. BTW one year ago today it was 59F.

At 8:30am the temp is 10 Degrees with gusty 20-30 mph winds. Snowed all night with 2-3" of accumulation. Tough to tell with the blowing winds. That's all for now... heading out to ski.

Well, maybe instead of taking Friday off, I should have taken Monday off. Doesn't really matter - may have it off by default (mmmmmmm..... default). Tough to drive down from Moretown to Wilmington in a snowstorm and be productive at the same time. I think maybe I can be more productive at the Bush. Well, I was there Friday and I'll be there Sunday. And maybe Monday. We'll see. I smell something I haven't smelled since April......... POWDAH DAY!?!

Gotta take care of some business so I can enjoy the rest of the winter, but the thought did cross my mind. Could I have been swayed if we were talking about getting into the trees, possibly. But as good as tuesday may be, I can't do it,

AND 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW FOR THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY OF NEW YORK BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING."

Roger Hill:
"Feet of snow in some of the Green Mountains Resorts. Keep watching this page and most importantly BESTSKIWEATHER this weekend with more updates.."
