+C&C+COMPANY Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Holy Cr_p! that would scare me pretty bad. Quote
+nfa Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Come cache in the Adirondack Park in upstate New York, the northern part of the park is essentially free of poisonous snakes, poison ivy/sumac/oak, and deer ticks. Sure...most days in January and February are below zero, but its (mostly) worth it. nfa-jamie Quote
[MTB]_Intrepid Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Ugh, creepy. Worse thing we have around here is slug-covered cache containers in some of the mossy areas...not a problem this time of year. Quote
+murfster Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Here is what we got! COLD Only snow snakes Quote
+Amazon Annie Posted December 19, 2004 Posted December 19, 2004 Man-o-man that's one frosty temp up there Murfster! We were up on Orangeville today and were suprised by the amount of snow that we encountered at the caches. It was up over my knees (enough short jokes peoples... I can hear you snickering from here). Decided to go with it and made snow angels at one cache and slid down a hill on another. Can't beat it, join it! Quote
+logger&trail Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Don't worry about short jokes Annie, I think we are all above that <G> Have more faith in your fellow cachers, dont sell us short...... Sorry couldnt resist.. After looking at that photo I think I would take frostbite over snake bite any time. Happy Caching! Quote

+MaisOui & Avrohead Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 UNFAIR!!! It is -21, going up to -17 (woohoo!) today in Southern Ontario. Last evening our power was off for about an hour and a half. When it came back on and we could read the thermostat, it had gone down from 23 to 16 - inside the house! - with 2 warm walls! (condos)... You know, I like snow, I like caching in snow, but I don't like to freeze. Sorry, no caching for us today... MaisOui :0) Quote
+nfa Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 It's 21 below this morning in Lake Clear...in Fahrenheit! nfa-jamie Quote
+PDOP's Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Rainbow in the Rockies Had rain showers mixed with strong Chinook winds yesterday along with highs of +6°C. Just outside the east gates of Jasper National Park Quote
+dgas71 Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 It was -31°C at 6:30 am this morning in Orillia, ON. Brrrrr. The car hesitated for a second or two when starting it. Quote
+Camo-crazed Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Here is what we got! COLD Only snow snakes Isn't that from calvin & hobbes? (the snow snakes not the -20 degree temps) Quote
+Gonzo-YT Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Ahh, meanwhile Whitehorse is one of the warmest places in Canada right now. Gotta love arctic climate change. Quote
+Dagg Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) I want some snow! too warm here.... I guess I should cut my grass after work Edited December 22, 2004 by Dagg Quote
+Camo-crazed Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I want some snow! too warm here.... I guess I should cut my grass after work yes, well... my grass doesn't grow from November til April Quote
+Dagg Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I want some snow! too warm here.... I guess I should cut my grass after work yes, well... my grass doesn't grow from November til April Did I mention the daffodils popping up? Quote
+Amazon Annie Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Isn't that from calvin & hobbes? (the snow snakes not the -20 degree temps) I don't think so... I remember running around on the Athabasca Glacier 30 years ago chasing 'snow snakes' for the Gorbies (tourists). Oh what fun we had! Oh, and by the way, thanks Logger for restraining yourself from making any comments about the vertically challenged in the group You know what? With enough snow on the ground, I might just be able to walk up to 15th View and reach the cache without a ladder. The freezing rain has stopped now but my door is frozen shut. No caching today.

+Camo-crazed Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 (edited) The rain is still falling on Ottawa. the good news is my igloo that I built for my neice in the front yard will be made of solid ice! the bad news is when the temp does go back down all the caches will be frozen in.
