Spring on the Way

Poll from the Herald Journal:

For people out of Logan, it's 33F right now. The high yesterday was 49. Yesterday I noticed that our apartment pool has opened up once again. There were kids with water wings running around. I usually don't swim before it's 80 outside.

As spring approaches, I keep putting away my heavy winter coat thinking - see you next year. But it keeps coming back out of the closet. I am surprised with 30 or 40 seems cold. Two months ago a 30 degree day felt hot. Perhaps in another winter, I'll be hardened to swim at 50 and join the early flip flop crowd.

Indications of spring: snow melted in most yards in the valley, green grass in many lawns, hyacynth are blooming, other bulb plants are poking their heads out

Ski Report

I skied at the Beav for the first time in a while on Sunday. There was so much powder, I didn't know what to do with it. Man it was nice though. They also donated some lift tickets to the Leukemia Society that we'll be giving away at our fundraiser at the end of the month. Thanks Marge!


It's not done either. Check out the ski report.

Beav Forecast

Brrrr!

Running heled me to come to appreciate winter. I used to think that running in the cold would be miserable. After a winter of running in DC, I came to realize that it never was too cold to run. NPR just said that it's -6F at the airport. Weather.com has it at a warmer -1F. Brrr.... I think I'll skip this AMs run.

Snow Pics

So, it's been snowing pretty regularly. In the valley, if it sticks, it tends to melt within a day -- except for this resistant icy patch behind my parking place, determined to see me slide into a metal pole or a neighbors car. It does seem as though it is collecting in the mountains though.


There was enough snow for some decent early season skiing last weekend at SnowBasin. Did I post on that? I had to rent skis because Al's is consipring against me, but I did get to try these Stocklis, which I really liked.


In any case, I did finally get around to taking a couple pics in front of my apartment the other day.

SNOW!!!!

We have flurries in the valley! About time.
