Asshole

Me, or the over loaded van?

Caught this van on my dash cam.  

At what point does a painter decide that a regular size cargo van ain't the correct vehicle to be shuffling 14 or so ladders  back and forth?

I follow a Maine Snowmobile page, and people are wrapping it up this week, even up north.  Sure, you can find some snow in the woods, but getting there, in and out with the sled there are some real sh.it zones...bear dirt, and mud.

What a 6 week period that was. The 100+ club. Never see that again in my lifetime 

Exactly 100" for me when I was down the road in Brooklyn. I may even have sold my self short an inch or 2.

Those winter seasons have dissappeared faster than my hair after college, and there's no getting them back.

Indeed.

I don't think I hit 60. High 50s

how about late in the summer /early fall??

The great thing about internet forums, like tv and radio channels you can scroll past, or change them.  

We get an extra month of sh.itty, April - like weather.  Morch = Maypril.   

Sucks.

I think we're due to fire up the met spring discussion. 

What time should I expect the massive wind show?

What the hell do these both mean?

Always love the maps, especially with the addition of Lava Lake.

I don't fault you for the continued lack of snow.

Did Tip help you write the topic heading?  I fell asleep reading it.

Wednesday night looks wild 

I suppose after 3 months of failed winter, anything looks wild.

Someone we know may need to pull their sled all the way to hudson bay next season.

That is all.

What have the trail conditions been like the season?
Adirondacks have not been good.

There was some back then too but briefly, if we had this weather in January maybe we'd get enough to ice fish.

I was about 15miles north , in Auburn MA yesterday.  Plenty of guys on the pond fishing.  Some places have it, and some dont.

Full ice here on Lava Lake.  Why not during that colder period in January?  I suppose because of the constant wind and water movement during that time, preventing the freeze.

Either way, it doesn't matter because it's not thick enough to enjoy, and will be a dream by next week.
