The bicycles and fishing gear are stowed away for a little while due to the onset of heavy duty winter weather. It has been snowing fairly heavily and unusually cold. Despite the 20 degree weather, I had to get outside and go for a couple mile hike in the local forest. There was between six … Read more
It’s looking more and more like winter every day. A wet warm front followed by an Arctic cold air mass has made for some snowy and cold weather. In the past twenty four hours we got about a foot of snow. When the snow stopped, the temperature really started dropping as an the cold Arctic … Read more
After a week of cold rain and a significant snowstorm, we were able to get back out for a bike ride. The trails are still covered with snow and are very muddy, so it’s time to break out the road bike. At the lower elevations and where the road is exposed to the sun most … Read more
We had a pretty good snowstorm yesterday, at least two or three inches of heavy, wet snow. Today the sun is out and the snow is starting to melt. Weather forecast is calling for 50 and sunny by the weekend.

It rained yesterday and this morning, but the sun actually came out early this afternoon and it was an awesome day, albeit a little damp.

The sun was shining, it was about sixty degrees and the trails were in great shape. I’m just going to roll the photos…… Looks like a little rain tonight, maybe a dry day … Read more
