Reader Comments on January Thaw from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:22:47 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/thaw It is nearly midnight and I should have gone to sleep long ago...but what am I doing? Searching all the northern NE web sites for their snow conditions, hoping somehow, someway I'd findfa miracle happening in some pocket of New England. Before my two sons head back to college I was so looking forward to going on a ski trip, a taste of days gone by when they were young and we went everywhere it seems. When we had the abundance of snow, they were gone, studying, then when they first came home they just wanted to take it easy after the finals---now I fear we have waited too long. The lesson learned--when the deep snow is here, go for it. New snow is one of the gifts New England gives us, and gone are the days when we can take it for granted.

Ya gotta ski when the skiing is good. Like I said, there is hope with some colder temps for next week.

Now if I can only navigate the snow bank to get to the path...

And, it's only the beginning of the season. But, I've been told by some Co-workers that this season has been hand picked and delivered especially for me, Ha Ha! Thank goodness I had the wherewithal to get the appropriate vehicle (with 4-wheel drive) and a brand new shovel. Don't get me wrong, I love the winter and the snow is quite lovely, but it has proven to be quite an adjustment. I enjoyed your blog and will keep praying to the dancing God's of the snowflakes for the powdery stuff to continue. Happy Skiing!!! Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:59:08 +0100
