A reminder that Spring is here, no matter what the weather says!

We had that the night before last. Dropped a quick 1/3"

Brightening up. Looks like 6.5" will be our final tally. Temp up to 30.7/20.3

It's usually early September, but I've seen it as early as August 17 and technically, according to my landscaper, it can happen any month. Mostly because we radiate so well

That's depressing... But true! And just over 3 months to the first frost. Such a short summer!

It's not warming up at all. Kinda wild to have icicles from the roof in May in the middle of the day

It's like mid winter up here

5.5" here and still snowing! Geez

Started as light snow here just a few minutes ago

We are getting occasional snow showers in the middle of the day in between sunny breaks... Definitely seems colds enough!

Alternating sun and snow showers in the middle of the day in May. Oy vey

Woke up to some light accumulations

Yes, about 1/4"

I guess the answer was yes

Light snow currently here

We had 0.3" of glop overnight, then on and off light snow all day with no accumulation

38 with mixed precip here

Yeah I thought that would probably be the case. They gave me permission to mow a path in the bird sanctuary in front of my house at one point, but that's different. I'll give them a call next week and see what they say! I'm other news, just started raining

Well yes I definitely wouldn't do without approval. Mostly wondering how hard it is to get approval

Unless the reason is that nobody cares but me since the trails would really only be accessible from my house... And the NFS doesn't have enough volunteers as it is to maintain the existing trails

Does anyone know what the rules are for clearing trails in National Forest? We took a walk this morning from the back of my house up towards the upper chair at West Mountain (all National Forest land), and it turns out there are what looks like old trails that are overgrown but have clear signs of human activity (chainsawed trees) and even from satellite images you can see paths that are cleared heading up the mountain. I was wondering what the laws are on cleaning up some of these trails? It was very a very cool walk - plus if I went all the way I could ski all the way back lol

I'm under a WSW, but the P&C says 1-3"

Stunning day. Went for a hike up West Mountain, wish I had skis.

I was thinking the same here. Don't think I remember so much top to bottom coverage since moving here

Because we are about 16 weeks away from our first frost and snow this time of the year is useless lol. When you live up here, cooler than normal weather means the warm season gets very, very short. It’s the opposite of “wasting a winter month” when I lived down south. When the warm season is short, above normal transition period can really help make it feel longer.
