Well, we got our 'snow'. I can count the individual snow flakes :-(  Up to a foot, huh? Somebody at the weather center has some pretty small feet....

A tend of 50's and 60's coming over the next few days, I've decided to stop wearing my coat, simply on principal, especially at work as I work outdoors, a bit cold this morning at 15F, faced thawed after about 20 minutes indoors.

Forecasters called for a storm Wed., so the NH DOT pre-treated the highways in southern NH Tues. afternoon with the salt brine solution.  Easily noticeable when you cross the state border from MA to NH. I work in northern MA and live in southern NH.   

Wed. came and we didn't get any precipitation out of it, nothing, and the highways are still coated in the salt brine.  It'll be there until tomorrow when we get rain to wash it away.   They wasted their/our money this time.

Was on the beach road in Hampton at 3PM yesterday.  Kinda hard to tell there was the storm of the century going on just 20 miles east.  Averages 50F next week and roughly 60 by the 15th I declare our winter over.  Sorry Brian no more snow blower.... 8)  Must be because Steve is visiting us today :finger_fing11:

65F forecast for Monday, picking up the yard and maybe getting the truck ready to drive. Not going to rake the left over leaves as I'm sure we'll get some wind in the next month or so. Maybe some snow tonight but it melts the next day now. Thinking of getting a metal detector to walk around the big snow piles at the malls looking for stuff that was plowed under over the winter.

Loved it up there!  Flew back last night, out again today with a KTM in the back of the truck Vegas bound for a month!  That'll be home base for ADV riding Utah/NV/AZ/CA 

Your "Seaport Hotel" was great. And so was the food at Legal Seafood restaurant and Mortin's!
