So I'm still hoping for that one last snow ;)
I just read that they're planning to plow the WOD this week. They said that their policy is to leave the trail unplowed for a while for xcountry skiers, then they plow down to 1 inch and let the rest melt.
It snowed all day yesterday, only had about 4 inches yesterday morning to shovel and then nothing stuck, but it blew snow around and snowed and sleeted and just basically looked yucky all day!
Woke up to about another 4-6 inches this morning and it has been snowing ever since and sticking; so who knows? It is supposed to snow through the evening and then we get a break for perhaps a day and a half!
I'm tired of this already!

That's great news. I thought the snow on the W&OD wouldn't fully melt until April at this rate. There are LOTS of fallen trees on the trail, so that'll be a challenge for the folks doing the plowing.Quote:

My husband was watching the news and saw that we have had the most snow in the country for the year - 118 inches! that is 9.83 feet nana nana nana!
Yeah, like I really want to have that distinction! I'm so tired of snow
Spoke - My heart goes out to you. I bet it's gotten to the point where you say, "oh, we're only getting six inches of snow tonight, no problem."
I was boggled yesterday when they started trucking away some of the snow piles on the side of my street... They were half melted or more already... why bother at this point?
Really. Why can't they put those guys to work cleaning the MUTs??Quote:

Let me know... Although, I went the friday after the 2nd "blizzard' and was sooo aggravated at the place. I'm thinking about going to Crested Butte end of March.Quote:

I live 8 miles from you. We have the same weather.
something's coming NEXT WEDNESDAY.
You heard it here first.
Gambrill is lesss than 8 miles from me. Weather there is different.Quote:

For all I know there's a localized low pressure system from the wind pattern between those ridges or one of them causes a rain shadow.Quote:

I got home at 8:30 last night. I awoke to fresh snow on my car.
We had a slight dusting, too, but it's long gone now, thanks to that strong sun.
I just saw buds on the trees outside!!!!!
Spring is arriving!!!!!
Don't be hatin' on the snow.Quote:

Wind is good. I will just take the kite buggy out.Quote:

I was planning a birthday ride for Thursday, but now I'm not so sure :(

Cheesecake on Thursday? I'm in!!
My February riding journal looks dismal. Sad. Three lonely little entries. ~~ sigh ~~
March looks like it'll be much better! (Note to self: get rain gear.)
Zen, NO MORE SNOW! No no no no no no no! (And BTW, please do read the link I left elsewhere about the Manhattan apartment deal. If you didn't have dogs, you could sign right up! :D )
It may not last 'til Thursday. We had a large Costco one on Saturday night with dinner. Leftovers are going a (generous) slice at at time. DH loooooves this cheesecake! Had a great diet day yesterday....right up until that cheesecake called to me from the 'fridge! :rolleyes:Quote:
