Ah, botany, that exam was a B!TCH! Thank God for lots of studying and a great teacher.

Got the munchkin in bed before midnight, but she wouldn't have it. Still, 12:30 isn't bad. Miss Fussalot is either teething, having a growth spurt (sore bones and muscles,) or both. It's amazing watching her grow.
We have a few new pics of her up at HPM's website.

More snow on the way, but this time only a couple of inches. With it in the upper 20's and 30's it feels warm compared to what it was the past 2 months. Anyone notice how much more daylight there is? Spring isn't that far off.

The extra daylight is great! Of course, now that I finally have snowshoes, we won't get much snow, maybe two inches.
LyndyS

The snowshoeing is still good. There's about a knee deep crust of hard granular that is almost impossible to walk on with out snowshoes. Without snowshoes you break through after about 2 seconds and sink. It's very tiring to hike without them. Actually is not fun at all without the snowshoes.
richb

You have knee deep now there? We have about 4-5 inches of snow left and mostly that is solid ice from the rain before the freeze last weekend.

It's knee deep in the mountaintops behind my house. On the side hills it's less where the sun hit. I'm headed up to the Pinchot trail today to ski for a little while so I'll see how it looks up there. My guess is it will be around knee deep since it was thigh deep before the rain last week.

Good morning. We didn't get one flake of snow from that storm that was supposed to creep up this way. I went up to the forest yesterday and there was between an 18" to 24" snowpack up there. That rain we had last week hardly melted any snow up there. Conditions haven't been this good in years.

Mornin' richb. Mornin' all. Tons of snow still up here also. I just hope it pretty much all melts by March 13th when I move, it'll make moving my stuff out kinda tricky. Driveway out the house I live in is very narrow, and with the snow, no way I'd ever be able to pull in a moving truck, and would have to follow an icy zig zag path to the street. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Our snow is melting! It's the story of my life...set a date to snowshoe, and the snow goes away.

More blue skies in MI. Two days in a row....

Lyndy, snowshoeing conditions are great and the rain we had last week actually improved them. Instead of sinking into the powder, like it was before the rain, now the snow is hard so you just cruise on top and hardly sink at all. It's very fast snowshoeing and not tiring like it is when you sink in 8 or so inches. The rain made the skiing fast, but we could use some fresh snow to cover the frozen granular up. It's icy in spots, but fast, too fast on the downhills for me. With backcountry touring skis you can ski anywhere since the rain packed the snow down. You aren't limited to ski just where the snowmobiles packed it.

Morning all! I'm off work today. Whoopeee! Putting the last minutes touches on my packing and hitting the trail in a couple hours. Plan to do about 20-30 miles at German Ridge in the Hoosier this weekend.

Looks like mid 30's today, but no precip (it rained the last three days). Tomorrow warmer and chance of rain/snow mix.

I passed on my old pack to my younger brother and he'll be joining us today for his first overnight. Really looking forward to it. We don't seem to get much time together anymore.

Good Morning all..I'm home today with a sick child and a broken hearted teenager. Not sure which is worse. Lots of loving in store today. Atleast the sun is shining and the rain is gone for a few days. I'm looking forward to a great hike Sunday...hopefully I won't catch the bug before then!!!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good morning! A little drizzle is falling this morning, but it's supposed to get colder and turn to light snow by late afternoon. I skied a few roads at the Pinchot Trail yesterday and snowshoed two sections of the western part of the trail. It got a little soft toward the end of the day as the temp went above freezing, but trail conditions are still great.
