+brokenoaks Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Spring is arriving early in the Columbia River Gorge. Check out my geopup on one of our finds high up above the river today. It's looking like it's going to be a great year for the wild flowers and Geocaching this year. Quote Link to comment
+atmospherium Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 O what a beautiful picture! I'm still wading through a foot of snow. Although it did warm up a bit today; I broke through the ice over the creek and got a soaker. But Spring doesn't really arrive in Western New York State until May. Quote Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just checked. Nope, still can't see the yard with all that snow on it. A few more weeks. Quote Link to comment
+Coyote's Girl Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 What a lovely picture. It broke 50 here today, and the streets were crowded. Would have loved to cache but I was otherwise occupied. Welcome Spring and cache on! Quote Link to comment
+bittsen Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Wouldn't you know it. A perfect day for hiding a cache and just as I'm headed out the door I get a call. Kids car broke down. There went my afternoon. But tomorrow is supposed to be almost as nice. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yeah, it's felt like spring for a couple weeks here in the middle of Washington State. Feels really weird! But I am enjoying the sun. It feels good to bask in. Quote Link to comment
+BCSasquatch Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yup, we're enjoying it up here in the Vancouver BC area too. El Nino is said to be responsible for a very nice second half to February! I'm loving it. We have had unusually high snow for the last 4 or 5 years and this year I didn't even have to plastic the windows. I even swapped the hard top off my Jeep and put the soft top on yesterday! Lovin' it! Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I went out for a little walk after PT a couple days ago, and enjoyed the sun in light pants and a t-shirt. I took this pic, of the only snow left (hint - Horse Lake Mountain is at 4,619 ft.). Quote Link to comment
+secretagentbill Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Spring? We've still got a foot of snow in PA... LOL Quote Link to comment
+The VanDucks Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Ooooh - I am so jealous! We have had record breaking snow fall here in northern Virginia. Geocaching is going to be really tricky once all the snow melts and the mud appears! Your happy dog picture brightened my day! Quote Link to comment
+ekhoc Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Nope, no spring yet, got another ~10 cm of snow this weekend, temperature -15 degrees now, and more snow expected for Tuesday... Quote Link to comment
+Ecz Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 No fair Been snowing here since thursday and not supposed to stop until tuesday. I have an eTrex Venture HC due to show up tomorrow and I know I'll be too impatient to wait to head out. Snow & mud incoming... womp Quote Link to comment
hoosier guy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What a great photo! Gives me the hope to hold out for another few weeks. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Spring? We've still got a foot of snow in PA... LOL hehe i hear you...we have a snow storm as i write Quote Link to comment
+ekhoc Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) As expected, it is snowing again, and we already got about 50 cm, or 20 inches of snow. Only -10 degrees though, compared to yesterdays -19 degrees. This is how a local road looked like yesterday. Yep, that is ice. Edited February 23, 2010 by ekhoc Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's going to be rainy and cold here this week, but we had a beautiful spring-like weekend. Hopeful signs that spring is coming soon: 1) Yesterday, I saw a mosquito in my back yard. 2) I've started getting "allergy alerts" in my email again. 3) Saturday morning, there was a whole flock of robins in my front yard. 4) I haven't stopped to count them, but for the past couple of days my Blackberry has been buzzing like crazy with new cache alerts. The local reviewer has been very busy publishing new caches. Quote Link to comment

The snow has been a bit thinner down here in Southern WNY, but it's still there when I get up everyday. And everytime it looks as if it may melt down just enough to get a quick cache in, more comes along and sweeps that away! Arrrgghhhh, I hate being impatient!

+ekhoc Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sigh. More snow expected on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday .. apparently no more on Tuesday. Spring needs to wait for a couple of weeks, at least. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Got nearly 2 feet of since yesterday. There is a pile next to my driveway that about 7 feet high. Going out for some showshoe caching tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
