Average high is 33, average low is 10. Got up to maybe 35 today.  Just got back in town on Wednesday, and have been moving snow like crazy.  I have nearly 10' high snowbanks in my yard.  Good thing I have the front end loader.  I would never have gotten plowed back to the hangar with the pickup.  It's probably all of 2 1/2' deep on the fields.  Supposed to get another 6" or more tonight.   Went to work packing the runway today with the snowmobile.  Still have to smooth it, but at least I got it knocked down mostly.  Got stuck with the sled a bunch of times trying to turn around at the far end.  I think that sled is at least 100 lbs heavier then I remember it being.  Mark, is there a ski landing site at the flyin?  JImChuk

Welcome back Jim. The northwest corner of the airport has a long history of grass and ski operations offset from each of the paved runways. Looking good for me to fly in on skis this year again.

272.1 Nautical miles from me. Might be a bit far for me this time of year.

Yes, I've landed there on the grass, just wasn't sure if it was groomed in the winter.  JImChuk

I understand how that can go, would guess work issues are ramping up pretty good around now for you.

I didn't make it either.  Some how I missed the conditional inspection for the plane, and my AnP helped me out this afternoon.  I did end up flying for a bit over an hour this evening though....
