Yesterday, we recieved 7 or 8 inches of new snow. Wonderful. This is when New England rocks. After working all morning, the usual afternoon dog walk became an hour and a half exploring the Stow Town Forest on my Karhu 10th Mtn Tour full metal edge back country skis. (Heavy, but a great work out!)
Despite, the fact some folks with bare boots, ski and yes snowmobiles had had beaten Toby (3.5 year old pointer) and I there, it was still awesome. Heavy snow really weighted down some of the evergreens and other small trees. We broke trail through an area I typically mountain bike - lots of ups and downs. Had to knock snow off trees to get them to stand up and allow us to pass. Kind of fun, they bow at your feet in formation, you tap them and they stand and salute. Or dump snow down the back of your jacket. :)
And to top things off, we got up this morning and skiied a similar route with my partner before starting work today. Maybe this afternoon's dog walk with be a ski around Delaney Wildlife Management Area. January as it should be.... I hate the thought of global warming.
