+Kit Fox Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yesterday I woke up, looked at the San Gabriel Mountains and realized they were covered in new snow. I ended up converting my CITO event (with help from the reviewer) to a regular event. Everyone who showed up thought the snow was amazing, and it was still fun getting together to "meet and greet." Devil's Punchbowl "Cache In Snow Out" Event Highlights: The caching couple from Lake Havasu who had never ever seen snow on Cactii. The cacher from Texas who had never cached in the snow before.

+tozainamboku Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Living in So. California, I didn't really feel I had anything to add to the discussion on how one should interpret the Available in Winter attribute. This, despite the the fact that at the time 3 of my caches were likely under snow. I just never really thought that it matters, if someone wanted to hike to these caches in the snow they probably could find them - although I got this DNF log recently - so I haven't even bothered with this attribute. With the storm that came through on Saturday at least 3 more of my caches got covered. Kit Fox's pictures provide pretty good evidence for one of them. BTW Bill, you need to add the Available In Winter attribute to your event - whatever it really means. Quote Link to comment

Fuji too I think that perhaps a kind of Japanese spirit known as a Tengu is at work here. Quote Link to comment

TheSkunkyHobos Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) UGHH! We are shoveling out from under 16" of snow in Milwaukee. Cache In Snow Out indeed... yup, I'm in Milwaukee too. All the snow can put a damper on the game, but what makes it worse is the cold... Edited March 14, 2009 by TheSkunkyHobos Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I got lucky this year. I hosted a trail repair event yesterday and even though it was three days shy of one year since the CITO event, we had nice weather. Same place, one year difference, but no snow. The snow level stayed around 6700 feet, or higher. Quote Link to comment
