January rain

 
This seems to be the craziest year of the past century, as far as the weather goes. Driest December on record, then no snow in January and warm weather, with a weekend of rain this week. Well, rain in the valley, SNOW up in the HIGH country!! Only 2 days on the skis so far this year, though will ski some on Saturday this week, given the 18+" so far and the prediction of SNOW FOR THE NEXT 4 DAYS in the mountains. 

Should be about 3-4 feet of new. Nice heavy, wet snow to create a good packed base at the resorts. Hopefully the pattern will continue and build the base. In the meantime, this was some guided hiking in the enchanted forest of Devil's Hopyard, S.P. in CT. Interesting place. Hope to get back there for some runs in the summer.
