The crazy weather pattern we've been stuck in continues.  Brutal cold followed by a day of heavy wind before today's deluge worked on through with temperatures reaching the mid 50's.  A lot of standing water from the snow melt and rain that is bound to freeze up over night.  Black ice will be everywhere as will pothole city from the thaw and freeze cycle.  I don't miss my patrol days on the Saw Mill, Bronx River, Hutchinson River and Cross County Parkways in weather like this.       

The rain yesterday couldn't have been better timing for me. It got rid of the foot of snow on the lakes and now we are back to easier walking conditions.
There were no real issues on my commute to work this morning. Salters had things pretty coated by 6am.
We are 2/3rds through winter already. I know we can still get blasted with snow in March but it will melt much quicker and if it just stays cold now, I'm golden.
Last season sucked weather wise imo. Lots of snow then a very warm spring that lead to almost drought conditions going into summer followed by endless rain.

I'm excited to start week 8 on the ice tomorrow and Sunday.
My winter vacation starts in 2 weeks and it will be an all assault on the fish

Wishful thinking HT since we are actually 1/3 of the way through Winter.  One day closer to Spring is better than the other way around.  
Have fun this weekend and don't forget to photos.

To me winter starts mid / late November.
Ends early March. February is the short month .
I've been seeing snow since October.
Yup 2/3 way through.

If your sitting in a tree stand at negative temperatures in November, its winter weather

Why quibble over when it starts and ends we will get a definitive answer February 2nd Groundhog Day.  Lol
 
How's the fishing? 

oops

For me winter starts thanksgiving and ends April 1st

We were spared the LE event at least here I have not gone up to Pulaski yet. Another event next week

March is the month I least like.  One day a tease of Spring the next up to your buttocks in snow.  It's a long dreary month as far as I'm concerned.
