Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 As I get older, the more I despise snow and having to deal with it. I'm dome with petty snowstorms.

I don't want to implicate/impugn anyone ...or be offensive in general, but it really is a maturation issue. Funny you put it this way, Bob. Some folks never really "outgrow" it... Others do.

Either way, when they do, the obsessing over "petty snow" (as you call it, but it's petty anything really) goes away pretty quick.

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.

wxeyeNH Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ahhhh......warm air so close but yet so far. 47F low overcast. Had about .10" shower earlier. How far north will the warm front get into CNE this afternoon. Love to share in the warmth but can't complain with my 65F yesterday. CONGRATS BOSTON highest Feb temp ever. Let's see if we can make 73 or 74F! 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.

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.
