In the last 7 days:
Note
Yesterday's rain/snow mix resulted in about 2" of new snow up top, which was very wet and going to slush by this afternoon. Ran multi-use trails, which were surprisingly firm under the new snow.
Note
Ran trails. Some rain/snow mix late in the afternoon, with nothing sticking in town.
Note
I went running up in the hills east of town, and since the trails at Happy Jack are still deep in now softening snow (= postholing), I ran on one of the dirt roads--which are nearly entirely melted out and dry. The highlight of the run was finding a penny. Some people might think "that's a highlight? a penny?" Well, yeah. Finding a penny up there is really, really hard. By comparison, you're orders of magnitude more likely to see something like, say, a fireball flashing through the sky in New Jersey.
I also saw the first robin of the year, but of course finding the penny was the more exciting thing!
Note
Sunny and very mild--into the mid 60s. Lots of snow melt, but much more to go. Skied about 70 minutes in the moist snow, and based on the number of gaps that have appeared or about to appear, I'm going to call it a season and put away the skis.
Note
Mild and sunny, ski conditions were strictly spring. Because of the softening snow and snow depth, nowhere to really run up top now except for along roads. But that will change soon.
