Really hammering down up here too, JT. I hit Garnet Hill this afternoon for
a quick session and made it home just as the roads started to gnarl over. Bring it!!! Mike....... "John Forrest Tomlinson" wrote in message ...

So much so that our local place (Fahnestock) might not be able to deal with it well for a full day of skiing tomorrow. When it rains it pours I guess.

Yahooo !! :^] John Wilke Greenfield, WI Yahoooooo toooooo! Up by Rochester NY we got about a foot sitting there now and more promised for tonight! This is payback for all that warm weather and not having Lake Ontario freeze over! We have a Winterfest at a local park tommorow (Mendon Ponds Park) , sponsored by several groups including the Rochester Nordic Ski club. I hope the cold temps don't keep too many people away. http://www.rochesternordic.org/~winterfest/events.html if anybody is in the neighborhood. gr |

Yeah, we got 7 or 8 inches yesterday. I'm sore from shoveling. Skied 2 hours classic at the famed William O'Brien State Park in the Saint Croix Valley northeast of Saint Paul. They were out grooming the whole time I was skiing. I skied with Bill Stuber, Tom and Lee Bengel, Jerry Engen, Lori Belz and Mark Stolpe. Temp was 19 to 21F. VF30 worked okay but Xtra Blue was better. Nice to ski without it being on a swamp, lake, man-made area or golf course... Not that I'm complaining. My ski fitness is lacking. Hard to keep motivated when there isn't much snow ya know. With today's 2 hours, I'm up to 4 1/2 hours for the week! I'm already thinking about new bikes and the golf clubs...

Partly because they didn't run the ferry (or plan to when it was still an active business) in the winter, so it made me think it was frozen over! gr |
