Snow Depression in Northfield

Yes, we have no snow in Northfield.

Exactly one year ago - on December 23, 2010 - I skied for 45 minutes in the . According to last winter's training log, I'd skied a total of 12:27:48 by then, beginning on November 14.

So far this winter, I've skied one hour, a couple weeks ago, just after we received our only significant snowfall of the season. These three pictures illustrate the sorry snow situation around here right now: the only "snowy" stretch of Arb trail in the Carleton Arb, the pathetic bump that's the remnant of our sledding-hill jump, and the dwindling bank of plowed snow at the end of our block.
