Seriously, keep praying for snow, but face north when you do. There is barely over a foot on the ground in the lakes region and the White Mountain ski areas have plenty of thin spots on the naturally groomed trails.

Face WAY north! While I agree I'd like to see much more at Wildcat and other areas, we have plenty here on the southern edge of the lake. I measured between 2.5 and 3' in my yard in areas where the wind doesn't affect it. Other areas where the snow blows off the lake can be as deep as 6'.

Having just finished moving snow for several hours for about the 3rd or 4th time this week, no mas! Please!

Here in northern CT my son and wife have been doing a great job clearing all the snow. I have only a few minor pangs of guilt as I watch out the window.

There is no truth to the rumor that I scheduled my hip replacement surgery for January 22nd to avoid shoveling. No truth at all...

The posh upscale community of Enfield.

We hope to sell and move to the lake by September.

To be clear, our solution to the excessive cold and snowy weather is to move north.

Hey congratulations on your plans!

With the winters we have been having around here, you may be getting a break from the snow if you hunker down in the right spot.

(Sorry everyone for interruption.)

Hi Phantom
do you have official snow fall numbers for our area, I live in Maynard
Acton is closest but it is at 14.6 as on monday at 5:49pm and we know the storm did not stop until 12 hours later
I am trying to win a bet on it - nice bottle of booze

AC -

What do you want it to be ??

My wife works for a contract plowing firm and has a "service" that they subscribe to that pumps out "official" tally (from which they bill customers) but it doesn't report until 48 hours post event. With that said, she also mentions that Maynard is 99% of the time the same as Acton. Perhaps using the same data ?

If you could find out that would be awesome, just will need the proof
16 inches is a push, everything over that means a win for me
