i'm in NH & we have a good two feet of snow... and that's
after 2 days of almost 40F and an inch of rain on Saturday.
we went out Saturday & made packed sled runs for the plastic
sleds, so we'd have really fast runs after the rain.
unfortunately for us adults, the rain also made the semi-
plowed area downhill to the chicken coop & pasture into a slip
& slide too. wheeeeeee! (i have Yak Traxs, so i can get down
without wading through the snowbanks)
