Sunday last weekend during the massive dump: the town truck passed through my hood once at 6AM. DIdn't see it again until 3P. I suspect that it was the very thing you mentioned, give the drivers time to recover.

Today: Mt van Ho. Tomorrow: likely keeping it local at Dewey Mt. Sunday: Back to the Ho for the Lake Placid Loppet.

The Ho reporting 65 inches of snowfall to date this winter. Paltry compared to Woods Valley, but it's been so dang cold, it hasn't gone anywhere. 19 below zero when I got up this morning.

Good to hear, Warp. Keep after it.

The apocryphal story is that skeleton is so called because it's f'n dangerous. Other people suggest that it's a corruption of kjelke, the Norwegian word for sled. It was an Olympic event in 1928 and 1948, then didn't make another Olympic appearance for dang near 50 years. IDK how many people...

A friend was skiing with someone in ORDA's communications dept. ORDA person asks, "What's a loppet?" 🤦‍♀️

<rant>There’s a chance that this weekend's Lake Placid Loppet 25 and 50 km citizen's race might be canceled. Not because poor conditions, but because of the shite job ORDA has done marketing the race. There are 17, count ‘em, 17 people signed up. The Loppet didn’t appear on Van Ho’s web site...

Some businesses closed early in the Tri-Lakes yesterday because weather. It's gotta be bad for that to happen.

Yuuuuge day in Falun, Sweden, for the US xc ski team. In the 20 km mass start skate, Gus Schumacher nabs his second career podium, just 0.3 seconds from the win. Falun features one of the most fearsome climbs on the World Cup, the infamous Mörderbakken, or Murder Hill. The only hill Bjorn...

Saint Lawrence County just announced a travel ban because weather.

Just finished shoveling the driveway. Snowing so dang hard, I might not get out to ski.

Looks like all snow therefor the time being.

The struggle is real.

I bailed on a drive to NJ this weekend because I didn't want to shovel 12" of snow outta my driveway at one time. I never thought I'd run outta space to put the white stuff.

Someone suggested moving to YouTube vids. Video might get a lot more involved. Fancy backdrops, or coordinating to film on location? I'm a radio guy; I don't own a TV. So I like the podcast.

Yer voice is still gonna be yer voice.

Saranac Lake forecasted for more snow than Bennington VT. Doesn't happen too often.

Fabulous.
