FLL, Teachers are contracted a certain number of days. A day off today means an added day at the end of the year. Some of us, me included, would rather do the day now rather than at the end of June. A bus driver, if hourly, would make the money up in June as they'd be required to work then to get the kids to and from school.

There's your edumacation for the day, free of charge of course.

So anyone want to tell us the snow totals for the lakes region?

Yes, someone please tell us how much snow fell in the Moultonborough/Center Harbor area? Thanks.

You can always check the snowfall link. http://forecast.weather.gov/product....YX&product=PNS In Moultonborough, 3-4". The snowmobiles are already back out on the lake after a three week break.

Posted this in the Snowmobiling thread...

I drove by Meredith Bay a half hour ago. Tuesday's new snow is now all slush and standing water. Other areas of the lake might have better conditions, but the riding on Meredith Bay this evening would have been ugly.

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....

Does anyone have an up close and personal report on the quantity of new snow on the ice and is it blowing around today? So much for skating and blo carting to the island this weekend.

That 5.7" taht Meredith supposedly got must be at the south end of town becuase at the north end of town I'm measuring 3.5" to 4".
