Sure sign of Spring
 

Very cool but I sure hope they are wearing life preservers

Looks like they have chase boats out there also.

Great! Wind powered ice breakers! :coolsm:

Saturday, April 23, and it's snowing some real snow, about one inch of wet slushy stuff that's sticking to everything; trees, grass, and even the paved roads, up in Waterville Valley.

Have to wonder what's it snowing like up at Wildcat Mtn, which last time I checked was still open for skiing?

4-6 inches on Saturday and reopening on Friday the 29th.

Another sure sign... and not a good one.

Black flies are out in force in north, central, MA. I expect the same will be true in the lakes by the weekend. Saw 1 or 2 there on Sunday.

Ok, the euphoria over the normal signs of the lakes awakening in Spring is past. When do we really get Spring? This weather pattern is getting old, and no sign of an end when looking at the 10-day forecast.

I need a couple of days in a row of strong sunshine and low wind! :(

What are you talking about? It was nice yesterday, today isn't that bad, the rest of the week looks like a few showers, and cooler. It's only May still. I don't like it super hot anyways, unless I'm by a pool, lake, or ocean. Plus, I'll take the cool weather and showers over what the south and midwest are getting right now! People's houses are getting destroyed by flooding down there and we complain about a few showers and cool weather. Count your blessings.

Yeah, could be worse...I read somewhere that the ski areas in Utah just recently got a foot of SNOW!

Ok, I get the messages... I wish I was in Utah :)

Seriously, skiing on H2O is what I like... it's the transition phases that get to me :cool:

looks like a week of rain

I know it won't help any other than letting me vent, but can I complain now? ;)
