Spring Is In The Air....

Post by MetDream »

It is such a beautiful day out today, my friends and our dogs are going for a walk. For those of you in the northern hemisphere, getting any spring time weather yet? If so what outdoor activities do you enjoy?

Well yeah we got spring weather here since weeks but to be honest it frightens me somehow, as I always think of the climate change because it is definitely to warm. I've seen spring flowers in january and thats pretty unusual.... And as for my outdoor activities: I like climbing a lot and jogging.
We're not in this alone.

I already wore a only t-shirt once this week, but it's still too cold to go out like that everyday. I hope it get hotter soon, I'm tired of so much clothing...

Well the paths we were going to walk on were still full of snow! So we just walked around the pond and through the parking lots for a while. Enough to let the dogs and my friend's grandson run. I sure enjoyed spending a couple hours out in the warm sunshine.

This week or so has been warm so everything is starting to bloom, but guaranteed we will get another cold snap just in time to freeze everything again... happens every year.

Here is southern New Hampshire it has been warmer than usual, so today I decided to head north to our summer camp in the New Hampshire lakes region to check it out, make sure it is still standing and no one broke into it over the winter months. When I got there I had to snowshoe in about half a mile, as the snow plows stopped plowing the main road because there was too much snow. It's okay as no one uses the road in the winter, so they let the snow pile up when it gets out of hand.

This is the sight I saw when we arrived...

And this is what the view was like from inside the cabin... Good thing the door opens inward!

So yeah, it may be getting warmer, but we still have a LOT of snow to get rid of. Hopefully there will not be any flooding issues.

As for activities... I enjoy mountain biking, trail running and mountain hiking... Can't wait for summer!

oh for some snow!!! i've had an absolute gut-full of our never-ending sucky stinking hot summer. HEY WEATHER, SUMMER ENDED 10 DAYS AGO...

we've had about a weeks worth of days over 35C (over 97F) and it doesnt look like ending anytime soon. if it goes on as long as its predicted, it will break all heatwave records for adelaide, south aussieland.

just heard on the news that today is day 8 of this shitty weather. if it hits 35 or higher tomorrow, it will break all heatwave records here... and we've had no rain for 46 days :(

Still fairly cold here in Winnipeg, although it was pretty nice this weekend. I dont think it will be T-shirt weather for atleast another 6 weeks here or so. But I love the mild winter days, snow is great!

Bah... the first two weeks of February were very nice.
Sometimes it was even warm outside.

Now it's stormy and cold outside.

I don't like winter at all.
Viva el sol !
