This winter has been glorious for those who enjoy the outdoors in northern New England. Skiing conditions have been sustained at the excellent to superb level ever since the Christmas holidays. Except for a week or so of 20-below nights that are typical of mid-January, this winter has been without bad extremes. Jack and Anona Sayers and Bill and YummyGraulty were in Hanover for a few days enjoying a peaceful New Year's holiday.
