About an inch on Bacon Ridge (180') and steady light snow. What a pleasant surprise!

It is a super localized event. I went a few miles from my house to my hiking area and it's dry. Three miles south it's snowing hard.

Dark clouds building and radar looks surprisingly well. Getting my boots on as I type. Getting ready to get out into whatever falls.

I'm watching. I just don't have anything nice to say so I'm staying quiet

Already above freezing here. Not expecting anything here today. Maybe a little white rain and a high near 40. One thing that never rug pulls is heat. This upcoming heatwave was nailed by models weeks ago lol

That's the only time I hike during summer lol. Those are usually my days off. Last year I had a wild hiking experience when flash flooding thunderstorms caught me. It was the best hike of the season. It was a little scary when lightning struck a tree probably less then 500 feet from me. I like a drizzly, foggy day too. I don't stop hiking. It's my working season so that's my main focus. I get out when I can. I don't care for hiking among people. I don't mind passing fokes here and there but I enjoy the woods the most when I'm alone.

Ugh.. yup. My hiking season is coming to an end until the fall. I'll do some local hiking but nothing big. The crowds are back. I enjoyed the glacier. I was the only one out for weeks.

Come back and join for failing at anything interesting during the warm season.

We do heat like the Tug Does snow. Guaranteed no matter the pattern.

I wonder if we get our normal fruit blossom freeze that kills the peach, cherry, and apple blossoms every spring. I noticed even up on the Tug Hill that temps might hit 70 next week. 80 here. Rip winter 2026. It was a good run.

Exactly. Cold in March is useless 99% of the time. A cold spell in late March isn't going to yield some 1888 blizzard lol. It's going to be 45 degrees and miserable. After March 15th I root for warmth.

Bacon Ridge trailhead on Forny RD has 300 acres of wild meadows. I threw out 20 pounds of native wildflower mix on the public lands there. It's absolutely awesome. I go there every evening during the spring and summer to just look at wildflowers.

40 and damp for weeks. I hate March in every pattern lol

Hell.. where's the rain that was forecast? Sun is out and it's 50 lol

Let's get those houses washed, decks restored, paver patios and walkways looking new, shutters and doors painted! I'll give my family discount to anyone on the board.

Rollers! I experienced this phenomenon in Delaware! I actually caught it happening. Some rollers went for 10-15' and got as big as a grapefruit.

South NJ getting pounded again.

I knew this would be controversial lol. Don't get me wrong. That was a legendary winter. I just had more actual fun this winter. Being free of a job during winter definitely added points. I'm a fan of winter. I love cold, frozen lakes, gray cold days, snowcover that doesn't melt. The fact I chased probably added points too. I've experienced 135" of snow and hiked over 100 miles on snowpack/snowcreate. I just REALLY enjoyed the glacier and arctic flow from the nw. I had so many memorable experiences from that. Walking through wetlands on a path of ice (frozen creek) that was sparking like diamonds through the cat tails while surrounded by ridges covered in glistening icepack was surreal and magical.

Imo we just had a winter as good as 2010. Their wasn't much winter that winter. Just big snows that melted within a week or so. Those were fun storms but I had more fun this winter.

Awesome storm here in Southern Delaware. There's trees down everywhere, power outages. It looks like about 15" here in Harrington Delaware.

I forgot I had it! I'm been super busy lol. It's just wild out there. I'll send a bunch of videos and pics tomorrow.

It's getting deeeep...

I'm in central Delaware

It's ripping across my location. It's brought some wind with it. Visibility is getting pretty low. This beast is rampaging out over the ocean.

What a gorgeous display of raw power. This bend moving into the area is a real hammer. It's pure powder in this thing. I'm seeing some impressive drifting starting to happen. Oh boy! I love blizzards so much!
