Snow has frinally blanketed the northeast. Id like to start generating a list of reasons why its easier to cache in the winter.Feel free to be as serious/humorous as possible.ll start:

 

1. Easier to follow the geotrail

2. Less leaf coverage means better GPS reception

3. less children at playground caches

4. fewer muggles out and about

Playground caches? Haven't heard of those. Interesting.

The weather is beautiful! Winter here in az is prime caching season. I think today's high is going to be 71 and sunny as all get out. 74 tomorrow!

 

Snow? Ehh.. Don't think I'd even want to cache in snow or icy lakes. No thanks!

Why not? It's your time to FTF when nobody else is crazy enough :) :). Take a look at my FDNF & FTF (english version on both) :).

I did a little caching in the snow today. Here's what I found:

 

Finding the caches wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. A half-foot of snow would make it much harder, but right now, there's just an inch or so. I'm eager to do it again. I thought snowcaching would be tough, but it isn't.

 

No muggles. (Although I did see a park policeman.)

 

Snow makes an even better bread crumb trail than my GPSr.

 

Do you like quiet? I do. Winter is very quiet.

 

A long hike raises your body temperature. It's a lot easier to keep cool in winter.

 

No deciduous leaves on trees, bushes, and vines. This makes it easier to pick and follow a path, and to look for the cache from a distance.

 

No spiders, skeeters, or ticks. I think this is the best part.
