Honestly, I feel pretty lucky with these past two winters imby. Last winter I scored two events within a 10 day period of deep winter. This year was like last year but with a longer period of deep winter. This winter felt great and I really enjoyed the adventures I took during deep winter.

Except for the past 5 years winter never started lol

Hopefully everything looks terrible like it did this fall lol.

I'm getting that seed popping itch. Ive been doing a high production garden for many years. One of my favorite crops is tomatoes. For the past 3 years I've done heirloom verities. This year im going to rotate back to one verity, Better Boys. My favorite verity. I've grown probably 50 different strains of tomatoes over the past several years. Nothing beats a big, red, juicy tomato. They make a beautiful red sauce. When I throw together 10 different color tomatoes the sauce can be a brown color. I've also added the legal limit of cannabis plants. They take up a large area of garden space but we'll worth the harvest. All the old ladies on my street are making their own cookies. You think your neighbors are happy to see a bag of tomatoes. You should see their face when you give em-a- sack-uh-weed lol I also grown. Cucumbers Zucchini Potatoes Herbs Sunflowers

Next weeks cool down looks more like average temps for the first week of March. It's spring in the lowlands. I'll be preparing my potato crop next weekend. Winter ending isn't a bad thing. It's the beginning of a fresh new season.

Good thing it's not July. Drought city here we come.

I hope we do get rain. It's been super dry this winter. One of the reasons we held on to snowpack for so long is because we didn't get our usual rain the day after to wash it away. Ive had like 2" of moisture this year. Most of it fell as snow in January.

Was that the year it was 85-90 almost everyday for weeks? I remember it looked like mid Summer by April first that year. That was the worst winter. We didn't get a flake here. The coldest morning was like 28.

I know most people have jobs and can only stay for a couple days. I'll get the place and anyone that wants to hang out can just come stay. Just bring a shovel and some groceries. Even if they get half the snow they got this season, I'll still be blown away. I'm also going to rent a snowmobile for my stay.

It would be awesome to have a board club/chase house. I'd love it. Anyone sick enough to be up at 1 am on a weekday to hear a PBP on a model run is my kinda people lol

I've my pin ready. F-it. Let's do it. Having a house is definitely key! I can't be wondering around under street lights at 3 am at a holiday Inn lol.

If i can score a monthly rental it will be free for anyone from this board (even JI, i guess) to come stay a few days. It's just me all by myself. I'd love visitors! We can talk about droughts and stuff lol. I did VRBO when I went to Mount Storm, WV.

Put it back in the freezer and forget about it for another 20 years lol

Awesome! I'd rather be on the Tug in December than January but my company doesn't shut down for winter until Jan. I'm shopping for a monthly rental. I found one place but she wants like 4k for the month. I'll do it if I have too.

Yeah. That's another famous snow town. I also like the town of Kosoag. Seems like a nice little country town. Everyone rides around town on snowmobiles. Instead of biker bars they have snowmobile bars. It sounds like Ava is the most famous snowtown on the Tug.

He's back in Deep Creek. We're kicking around the idea of meeting up next week and sharing a place on the Tug. I want to go to Ava, NY to check out possible rentals. I'm planning to spend next Jan in the town of Ava. Its ground 0 for lake effect.

Yeah. Im having a hard time buying that too. Seem impossible.

Holy crap! Is this true? 40" overnight on top of 60"? Is their other records of this? I thought the 22" overnight in Annopoils during the winter of 1776 was a lot.

Come out to the lowlands and do a hike with me this weekend. Fresh air and garden herb will help!

PSU storm swing #2?

I know it doesn't seem dry because it's a muddy nasty mess out there but it is. Our active pattern collapsed and the drought base state seems to be in charge. The next 10 days looks dry. I'd love an actual storm. What happened to big coastal rainers. I'd take a good nor'easter with wind and a few inches of rain over some 4" march slop storm that melts before it's over.

Looks like a thin band setup right over your place. Beautiful spot you have down there.

I'd call it a party cloudy, chilly day advisory. I'm ready to till my garden and call it a winter. Unfortunately March is my least favorite month of the year and will probably be forever 50 and drizzly.

It's not even cloudy lol. Looks like a few passing flurries and a sunny afternoon.

Sounds like thunderstorm season lol. Speaking of.. I'm kinda looking forward to peepers in a few weeks.
