smclelan Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 That isn't very good. However 6-8" would put you back in business, a foot would be better LOL You still look to have the base in most places, that is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vt_bluyamaha54 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Strange to see 'snirt' around Causapscal in mid-January - yuck! I think Linda needs to visit on her way back from the Gathering and help organize a snow dance. (We lost most of our trails in Vermont between mid day Sun and Mon. Our groomer is parked for awhile.)
