Is it December 21st yet ?

(A rhetorical question). Sure looks like early winter out there in northern NH and given the forecast the north country should be looking a lot more so by the weekend. I expect the forecasted snow should set up a good base and lock in the small undergrowth. I took a quick walk around my lot yesterday, and there is about 10 to 12 inches on the ground but no crust developed so its easy to get tripped up by the small stuff buried in the snow.

Probably not a good year to wait for sales on snowshoes as usually snow prior to Christmas cleans out inventories. Of course their may still be good deals in southern New England as it will be rain event.

The good news is yesterday was the latest sunrise of the year in most areas.

You just had to do it, didn't you? The world doesn't have enough trouble already, you had to go poke the bear in his den.

From five years ago at this time: The latest sunrise date and time (in the NE) is

I'm confused about the NY comment. It applies everywhere DST is observed (or at least I have yet to find an exception).

Also, why am I not surprised that sardog1 posted in this thread? 5 years go by fast!

Seriously, it is useful to know that the Sun rises so late in late October / early November.
