Yes the Old Man has returned. No not the old Man who once stood proud looking over Franconia Notch, but Old Man Winter. Yes Old Man Winter has returned to his proper New Hampshire home. This Old Man shows up all throughout the White Mountains and even into the Great North Woods.
Stop and take a look around. Children are sledding and they want to help you shovel, Skiers are Skiing, Snowmobiliers are out and about, Cross Country Skiers are propbably the happiest I have seen in a long time, and Snowshoers are shoeing. Everyone is Happy.
The shovelers are shoveling, the snowmakers aren't as panicked, cars are white from salt, and the plow guys are really smiling.
It's almost like we are afraid to pinch ourselves to see if it is real. No one is really talking about it, yet it is confirmed with a smile or a wink. Yes, folks Winter is here to stay. (With over a foot on the ground, it better be.) Check your calendar Winter arrives in 16 Days.
P.S. Don't forget to check your wiper fluid.
