The local snowmobile club has been out grooming the trails this week which implies there is enough snow to bring in the desperately needed winter tourists. My guess in normal years they would have waited to groom until there as more snow as I expect it beats up their equipment but MLK seems to be the new start to the abbreviated winter season. Still plenty of brook crossings but the seasonal temps will start to solve that quickly
I was out in woods of Randolph yesterday and the crust is firming up nicely for snowshoes except for the spots where some folks were postholing their way through the woods.
I am starting to wonder if postholing is now tied to a social media physical fitness craze as there has to be a reason folks would go out and put in five times the effort to go half the distance in winter, plus flag themselves as newbees to everyone they encounter.
