Year 2020 in Review: Winter Wonder Land

Bob Jensen at Trinity University

This is part of our driveway

Most of the pictures below were taken from my desk in early 2020
Winter in these mountains can last until almost the end of May
Sometimes we get new snow after most of the mountain snow is melted

In the upper right corner of photograph below plums of snow making machines are shown
Cannon Mountain often supplements snow on ski trails with snow generated in huge snow making machines
With binoculars we can make out skiers on a couple of the many trails

On top of Cannon Mountain, where the tram terminates, there's a restaurant and bar

In the snow we see tracks of nightly animal visits
Deer and small critters visit every night
Occasionally there are larger footprints of moose
We only see evidence of bears after March when they wake up from their long winter naps

In the northeast we can see Mt. Washington in the Presidential Range
In a zoomed view the weather station at the top of Mt. Washington is slightly visible
There are ski trails further down Mt. Washington
But at the top the winds and cold are far to severe for skiers
The snow would blow off the summit if it were not mixed in with ice that hold the snow down

Birds, chipmunks, and squirrels don't much care for the wild cranberries in front of my desk until they are really, really hungry
Usually its March before the wild cranberries commence to disappear

This robin arrived way too early
Later there will be swarms of robins feeding in our front lawn
They never stay for summer
I think it's because they know that our many crows will take out their eggs or babies
They probably fly to towns where there aren't as many mean crows

On May 14, 2006 I retired from Trinity University after a long and wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
