We are all on spring break up here. Load restrictions went into effect almost 2 weeks ago now, so no logging really going on. Still a foot or more snow in the woods, but open areas are pretty well melted. Been in the 40-50's for the last 2.5 weeks now, but calling for cold and snow starting on saturday.

It's the same down here, but most all of our snow is gone. No hauling for the past 2 weeks due to the road restrictions. Doing some forwarding and cleanup, but the road access is bad until things dry out.

It's snowing here right now.  >:(  Highs for the next couple of days are below freezing.  :(  What a change from yesterday though..... was nice and sunny and warm with a high of 11 Celcius......

Here in Southwestern Nova Scotia, it looks very well like Spring is here.  99% of the snow is gone, most of the lakes are ice free and there hasn't been any frost left in the ground for over a week. Muddy skidding but on the bright side, they,re talking about lifting the spring weight restrictions in 3 weeks instead of 5 so at least we'll get some trucking done

Dad planted peas in the garden yesterday.  :D They'll never live if they germinate at all. I don't know what he's thinking. ::)

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.  If they don't make it, he can replant.  But, if they do make it......he'll be a hero...... :)

it's been in the 60's and 70's here in california.  I wish we had more storms coming to help the drought, but I don't think anything substantial will come.  We can't work here in the winter so the warm weather is could for the timber industry and also for my clearing bussiness.  The farms will suffer from the lack of water.  I guess more food will be coming from other countries. 
Always try it twice, the first time could've been a fluke.

Was 60 degrees here yesterday today we have 6" of snow on the ground and its 30 degrees. Supposed to snow up to 3 more inches tonight.
Too much work-not enough pay.

We didn't have a winter to speak of, Vanoc had to truck in snow for some Olympic events. The crocus and daffodils have been out for almost a month. Things are not looking good for the summer with such a low snow pack, we could get another bad fire season and some communities could be short of water.
