Finally some snow in Portsmouth NH. About 5" with a bit of a crust on top.

Negative 29 F here by the lake. My daughter just reported it was negative 33 F 15 miles away from the lake.
Don’t know what the wind chill is. Just heard, radio reported minus 50 wind chill.

You must be on the cold and sunny side of the lake. I've been there, the winter sun is nice, but that cold and wind is brutal.
Do you attend the BRIC at Road America? That is my around the lake trip most years.
I love Elkhart Lake, often there several times a year.
Small town resort lake with the longest race track in America. My favorite track. Previously did a lot of Vintage racing there. Now working on building a track day car.
My dad bought an Allroad a few years ago, and the Audi dealership does an ice-driving event every year. We got to go this year! Perfect day on Georgetown lake - very little wind, and the ice was crazy slick.
My dad got to find out just how bad his stock all-season tires are. I had a very difficult time getting the car to behave in a predictable way. Dad did better than I did - I wanted to make it feel like a rear-wheel sports car and it just didn't respond in the same way.
Fun sliding my dad's fancy car around!
There were a couple guys with built coupes out with studs, and they were tearing it up. Truly driving sideways through the whole course. Very cool to see what can be done with the right tires and set-up.

A local Audi group/sub dealer provide a driving school on ice every year.
AMEC provides the track
I'm seeing a forecast of 10 feet above 7000' here in the Donner Pass area. I live at 7200 feet. I hope i have enough gas for the snow blower.
Snow and a sunset on the way home from work yesterday.
Well there is snow, but the cold (-5, wind chill -20) in Iowa may or may not have helped kill the compressor in my truck.
With air brakes and an air shifted 12 speed I wasn't going anywhere. Its brand new, only 9158 miles on it!
That was Friday, I'm home, but my truck is still in Iowa. They may get it in the shop today.
Someone pissed off Ilsa and now my house is getting cold.
These were from yesterday, before it got bad. Wind coming in a few hours followed by a flash freeze what ever that is. Really it has been hovering at freezing for days what is flashy about dropping one degree, more than that is just colder.
This is going to look so cool when the sun comes out, I wish I had photography skills for that day.

ugh that view is amazing. The mountains also look nice too

There were a couple old 5000's out too, that also had studs. Both of them were beige, and one was sporting tattered "Ambassador Flags" on the front bumper. Very Luxo-trash of them. They were ripping it too.
I'll admit Georgetown valley is not my favorite mountain spot - a windy angry cold little valley known for it's bumper-to-bumper highway traffic. But it was an awesome day.
We have had some flooding here recently due to pretty consistent rain/snow melts, it's nothing new for our area as flooding happens around here regularly but the back part of my property slowly becomes a lake when the ground is saturated enough, in the almost 2 years we've been here it's only happened once before and was only about half this size, im guessing the deepest part is around 2 feet.
It went from (visibly) dry to a small lake to a frozen lake within a week's time.
My daughter is an ice skater but unfortunately the ice thickness wasn't consistent enough to try to skate on, she was able to walk on it but there where some thin spots that kept us from venturing out too far onto it
Oh hey winter, I live there!
Been in Tahoe to ski this week. Amazing.
There's our "snow car". Gonna try and dig it out today. 'Round here, we get snow like this maybe once a decade and Never in February...
This is the winter end of maintenance on the Stampede Road just outside of the Denali national park.
The road goes back another 20 miles or so I think before it hits the Teklanika river but gets narrow pretty quickly and I didn’t think I’d be able to turn around by myself if I got stuck.
For those of you familiar with the “Into the Wild” story this is where Chris McCandless was dropped off to hike back into the wilderness. The magic bus is on the other side of the river a few miles further out into the wilderness.
Headed back to the highway

Yo, wassup Squaw Alpine. I work there. It's been too damn much snow. We've gotten at inch an hour over the past two days or so. I'm tired of blowing snow.
The lower area next to me is my driveway
Luckily the blower came. Unluckily I am still without a car...
My Colorado a few weeks ago after a good snowing. The Goodyear Adventurer w/ Kelvar are terrible in the snow. Do not recommend at all.
We got snow this morning in NE Oklahoma ...and I was ready.
Going to the ice races at Wells today. Snow tonight.
