are deep just about everywhere north of Manhattan.\u00a0 At some point it will stop snowing&#8211;it has to, of course.\u00a0 No month can sustain this kind of pace.\u00a0 But, adding in this past weekend&#8217;s New England blizzard, the projected winter snowfall total for Boston is now &#8220;Infinity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If this is how it compensates for its abbreviated length, then I say we make February even shorter.\u00a0 Which is why I&#8217;ve been lobbying for the US government to adopt my experimental 13-month calendar, in which these weeks are set aside as the new month of &#8220;Skibruary.&#8221;\u00a0 Congress hasn&#8217;t responded to my letters or phone calls, yet, but I&#8217;m now being followed by a large, unmarked black van&#8211;so I think I&#8217;ve got their

Powder7 heroes.\u00a0 Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t read them, of course, but your words will live on forever, somewhere on the internets, to be cherished and curated by sentient computer viruses living as data scavengers among the smoldering ruins of our civilization.\u00a0 And I will be their cyborg king.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there&#8217;s more great, snowy weather on its way to the Northeast, and the snowsporting should continue to be fruitful.\u00a0 So, while we wait for those favorable clouds to turn toward the Rockies, we hope our East Coast friends get out and enjoy it.\u00a0 The turns in that part of the country have been hard to find fault with lately.<\/p>\n<p>Long live

to be between 5.5 and 6.5 feet tall, almost nothing else is known about Justin. When asked by government scientists, not a single person at Powder7 could recall ever seeing Justin eat or sleep--but several claimed to have observed him staring straight ahead, unblinking and motionless, for hours at a time. There's a rumor that Powder7 headquarters was built around him while he stood in one of these mysterious states. That rumor is true. Possibly immortal, Justin also enjoys tennis.","url":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/author\/justin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3627"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3627\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3662,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3627\/revisions\/3662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
