Last Wednesday and Thursday were the coldest days we had seen in a several years (-33 in Wakefield overnight) versus in the 70's today

in Hudson,NH (home), a temperature spead of over 100 degrees. Amazing!!. I was driving with the convertable top down.

We went snowmobiling both days last week and despite the connector trails from the lake being pretty beaten and bare in spots the main trails were good to excellent. We went across the lake from Moultonboro to Melvin Village and headed toward Wolfeboro and then up to West Ossipee. From there up Corridor 19 to North Conway and a few miles beyond before turning back. Some of the rail tracks were breaking through a bit but not too bad. When we got back to Ossipee we took the mountain trails through the Chocorua forest and Castle trails back to the lake. Overall one of the best rides we've had in years. Since it was midweek the grooming wasn't getting beaten up very much. On Wednesday, in the mountains, we came across a Moose crossing the trail, only the second one I've seen in the wild during the 22 years I've been in NH, and on Thursday a couple of what I think were white tailed deer. All in all a beautiful end to the season which was admitedly very late getting started and pretty light on snowfall. Time to summerize the sleds and in about 6 weeks to put the dock in and pick up the boat.
