ONLY 97 DAYS TILL SPRING!!

“that's it, that's all i wanted to say...wow, it's not even officially winter yet and i'm ready for spring”

“Ha! I like your thinking thrifty.....I always consider the 21st (first official day of winter) the midpoint of winter because the days start getting longer, lol.”

“Lets get through winter first. BRING ON THE SNOW!”

“I was thinking about spring this morning too. Actually, next year's trout fishing season. I hope it's a lot better than last year.”

“Lets get through winter first

exactly, let's get "through" it...people only say let's "get through" something that sucks LOL”

“I love winter!”

“I love winter in NH! There is plenty of snow and plenty of good places to ski in NH, VT and ME! Winter is my favorite season.”

“winter rocks”

“I love winter as well, I want to get to use my snowshoes, crampons, and tipups.

Early spring is the worst time of year. There’s nothing but mud and rotten snow. Makes for horrible hiking.

“I'm surprised that in a winter conversation no one mentions tire chains! Winter is the best time of the year for ice fishing. A good ice fishing house beats being cramped in a rowboat or canoe. One saves money on ice for the beer, too, a definite economical advantage.”

“I'm surprised that in a winter conversation no one mentions tire chains

this isn't a winter conversation, it'a a spring conversation, man i'm out numbered”

“does anyone ever even use chains on their tires anymore? i haven't seen any yet.”

“not since them nifty metal studs they been perforating tires with. Marko, ditto on the tipups..standard gear necessity.

ignore this user

Yes, my uncle uses them on his truck, but only when he plows his driveway. Studded snowtires and 4-wheel-drive aren't enough on that driveway when it's icy.

For road driving do not use tire chains.”

“gotcha dude! yeah i see some driveways that look basically straight-up, and i wonder how the heck people ever get up to their houses sometimes.

we got some awesome snow tires put on one of the cars the other week, now just need to do the other one. we have a couple of Dadilacs...Pontiacs baby! well one is more of a boat then the other...they actually do pretty well in the snow, heavy cars.”

I still have my chains from my years in Vermont.
I used them on my front drive Escape a few times since and made it through some deep schit!”

“capitalize, my arse. well i wouldn't want my posts to look too official, like i put any thought into them whatsoever, MarkO! LOL!!”

“I was thinking about spring this morning too. Actually, next year's trout fishing season. I hope it's a lot better than last year

“well tomorrow is the winter solstice which, of course, is the shortest day of the year...they only get longer from here on out...only 3 months until spring!!!”

“That's great news. I hate this getting dark early stuff.”

“I, for one, am ready for the spring thaw! We've gotten more snow in November and December this year than I can remember for the whole winter in the past few years!”

“spring spring spring spring, i love spring”

“Sometimes I'm glad I live in the south. My garden is going year round. :P”

“Hey! Let's not rush things. I haven't gotten my skis out and have only been sledding three times. I have a kick-@ss new saucer sled and I hope to use it often this winter!”

“so have you ever wondered, just what is a "solstice?"

Sounds like a hot, damp pack you put on injury.

:-)”

“Good point Sass. I need to get the skis out yet either. All I've accomplished is a couple of day hikes both times coming away either wet or muddy due to;
1. slipping into the water to have my foot fall in
2. sliding down ice on a trail till I fell on my butt.

I may need crapons if I'm going to continue this winter hiking stuff.”

“I have a ski trip in the works(egads never done that before peeps will be laughing) florida in Feb, than spring I am so ready”

“we're having a heat wave!!!...supposed to be 32 today...i can picture the trees blooming already”

“It was -3*F this morning when I left for work. BRING ONE WINTER!
8D”

“winter sucks and all who love it suck too LOL
