Gotta love this snow!
How's everyone doin this winter? Now that the Northeast(Maine) finially got what we were used to for snow, there's plenty to do....what'da think?

Let's see for starters there's downhill skiing, x-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, skating, and sledding....so much to choose from just not enough time in the week for it all. The only thing UK and I haven't found time for is skating and sleding. That's it we gotta quit our job.(LOL) :)

I've done all of the above except downhill skiing and snowboarding, which I don't do anyway. Add hiking.

It's great! Gonna be a cold weekend!

Cool beans, Skeetah Bait! Lot's of snow for the NYC area also, it's been great so far! I think all the snow from where Crazy Mike lives has come over our way.

But wait I see that Michigan is going to get a bunch of snow in Manistee National Forest.

It's been great around here for skiing and snowshoeing. It would be nice to get a little more snow just to touch things up.

Yesterday it was 50 degrees, today we've got about a quarter inch of snow... it looks almost white, but i'm sure it'll melt before long.

CMB, you should try to get to Mammoth this season for snowboarding at 11,000'! It rocks!!

BTW, it's been pouring rain since yesterday afternoon here in the Bay Area, which likely means more snow in the Sierras.

Downhill skiing this year has by far, is well past last year!!!

Shoulda seen what I did Tuesday at Sunday River!!! Skiing a double black diamond w/great conditions, but...took a little spill, about 100' till I finally stopped....whew, what a rush! Scared the *@%! outta UK though, well me too, 'till I stopped. Just picked myself up, shook myself off, and continued on.
