scoob40 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 70* unlimited sunshine. Not sure that even the pack in Hippy Valley's bucolic digs survives another 24 hours of this onslaught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you put it this way, Bob. Some folks never really "outgrow" it... Others do. It's just my opinion: it comes down (mentality -wise) to opening one's appreciation up to other aspects of weather, If that is impossible for some 'users of the drug,' then they need to open their minds/appreciation for a broader pallet of life's experience in general. Either way, when they do, the obsessing over "petty snow" (as you call it, but it's petty anything really) goes away pretty quick. Focus redirects to bigger ticket show items, convection items, heat or cold, the Celtics the Patriots, the holocaust dystopian political landscape that's hit America like an asteroid impact...to relationship/social and back, all of it, that bandwidth is given to life (for lack of better word). Buuut, in the end, this is a public attraction ... for those that are attracted to it. The moderating is softer. It has to be (no offense to ya'all). This site became a profit vehicle shortly after it speciated off of Eastern moons ago, and when that happened...the site makes money off of ad revenues; and that enterprise is ultimately based upon the number of mouse clicks; not screening out users from clicking mice . Point being, it's almost futile to really even discuss it because one can be spot on correct in these observations, then there are two schools: don't contribute and move on into other pass-times; or, it won't change the fact that if it is a maturation issue, then it's a natural process that takes time at the individual level, but will never go away. blah blah. Or some actually have multiple ways to enjoy winter as aneeded outlet for exercise or income. Others have a appreciation for the beauty of white winter landscapes versus brown stick season. To each his own but it really has zero to do with the maturation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I was just looking at my sap cam and I was surprised that the sap appears to be running despite the 70° temps: https://www.youtube.com/user/balsamwoods/live Normally it only runs for about 36 hours after freezing but I guess its early enough to stay running.

All I care for is blizzards and than have it melt away in a couple days. I don't think of it as a maturation issue, as Tip noted, when I was younger I disliked having to do the work of cleaning up more than I do now. I'm on the Ginx train, I enjoy the recreation and beauty of it. I also enjoy the recreation and beauty provided by a Vermont summer too. I hate the middle though and have no use for much of late March through early May. If I ever get to the point of being able to spend time somewhere else, I would go south from March 15th to May 15th, which also coincides with nicest time of year in my birth state of Georgia.

My preference for deep winter is snow shoeing but you need pack but my preference for all seasons is walking and hiking. 82? I'll be happy to get there. In 2 weeks I'll have officially outlived my father presuming I make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
