Skiway Days.

2-23-12 VERMONT: The last few days have been mild, with a few snow showers, but the pattern of mild, dry winter continues. Europe seems to be getting all our snow and cold.

I did a couple days of skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway. The trails with snow-making were groomed to perfection, groomed well enough for the red carpet on Sunday. The trails without snow-making were almost without snow. From the top of the Holts Ledge side of the Skiway, the views of the New Hampshire side of the Connecticut Valley showed lots of houses and fields with no snow. In New Hampshire, February usually means two feet of snow.

We still have snow in our pasture, but less every day. Our dirt road has turned into rutted mud, which usually happens in April.


Lyme, New Hampshire in February should be white, not brown.
