How much snow in Meredith? Do I head down there and fire up the snow-blower or stay here in Waterville and go cross-country skiing through last night's less-than-massive ONE INCH of newly fallen, light & fluffy snow.
www.noaa.gov shows 03215 as getting up to 38-degrees today, skies mostly cloudy-sunny-cloudy, and the main chairlift has lots of empty seats.....for sixty seven dollars nobody can afford skiing anymore.....and everyone heads to the XC- 2.8 mile, no fee zone up by the Depot Camp p-lot on the north side of town....off in the woods of the White Mountain National Forest....
This week is Massachusetts public school vacation week. Next week is New Hampshire public school vacation week, and the following week is English-speaking Canada's public school vacation week. Don't know about French speaking Canada as in Quibec?
I see empty chair, after empty chair, after empty chair.......like where are all the skiers-sno-boarders....this is the middle of vacation week, and it snowed in Boston yesterday. In the old days, WV would be totally mobbed, but not this year.....it's pretty quiet.
Maybe everyone is staying put, back home, and doing their virtual skiing on the wii, whatever the heck that is?

According to the scroll at the bottom of the Weather Channel, Meredith got 5.7" of snow, Laconia got 6.2", Rochester got 9.6", & Portsmouth got 10.2".
As already said, Waterville Valley got about one inch of light & fluffy snow, not really enough to clean it off the car unless you are a snow-neat freak. Just turn on the wipers & drive....
