Well after a week of warm weather old man winter came out swinging and hasn't stopped!! Friday I woke up to some really heavy wet snow falling and rather warm temps. It was supposed to start dumping around 3 am but didn't begin until around 5:30 in the morning. I decided to lay in bed, get some sleep and let the snow accumulate for a while.
I ended up slapping the planks on around 10:30 and heading out. When I headed into the woods I was pumped on the conditions. There was around 7" of fresh and still dumping!!! It was heavy and wet but it was nice!!!! I overdressed and ran through some clothing because everything was getting soaked.
The picture up top is a stock one from last month but it pretty much sums up today!!! I went back to the A.B.C. and my tracks from yesterday were covered!!! The skinning was tough for the first section then I hooked up with yesterday's tracks, although they were covered it did offer a little relief. I had to break some fresh track for quite awhile up a steep climb but then spotted a new gem around 2000'. Ohh yea!!!! The lines were so SICK!!!!!! I skinned up changed into some dry upper body clothing and dropped in. I ended up following that down to the bottom then skinning back up and skiing down to the truck. When I came home my legs were cooked!!! After 3.5 hours breaking trail and unbelievable East Coast conditions it was time to go home and fix the snowblower, snowblow the driveway, and then go to work.
When I left work at 9:30 tonight it just started snowing. We're expecting around 3-6".
