Luckily, I like winter as that's what we still have here. Hoping to ski in the mountains next week. So getting in shape by X-country skiing this week. I'm glad they are still setting the tracks as snow is dwindling. A beautiful sunny day on the trail.

I dislike Winter and snow... I hope you're enjoying it, though.

@paigea I've been getting the pots ready on the front porch for Spring planting. I planted spinach in one last week and am waiting for them to sprout... I'm hoping it won't get too hot too early this year. I want to eat some before it bolts.

I'm so glad the garden is buried under snow. This is my play season.

The ski resort closes on May 22. Often that's because noone comes, this year the snow might not be great by then. Last year they could have been open a month longer. Tons of snow, they get.

@paigea Well you are okay for it then. No one comes? Why not, not snazzy enough for them the sods?

I remember skiing was your "thing" - so enjoy! How far do you do X-country? We actually got some snow, but nothing we could ski on .

@paigea Sounds like it was a good work out! As they say, no pain no gain . But this isn't the last of the snow there, right?

Well, I had an hour so 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back. I don't know how far it was. I felt my muscles the next day. Our snow is dwindling. I was pleased they had set the tracks.

@much2say it can disappear quickly around here, now. Plenty in the mountains for a month or more

I'd like to be out there again today. But I took a pretty spectacular fall and I have so much to do.

@kaylachan I'm over that fall now. But my house work has fallen behind and I have errands. Hopefully I'll at least get a walk today.

@arunima25 our winter is long. Officially on the calendar, it's spring but as you see it's still freezing much of the time. Still plenty of snow.

@paigea Spring is the most beautiful and loved season. But sadly, it is for a very short duration. It's just for a month or little more here. Our spring is officially over.

I would love to do some cross country skiing but the temperatures are too mild for that here, most of our snow, except for the piles in the odd parking lot, is all melted away.

Ours is dwindling. And I don't live close to any set tracks. Just use the trails now and then when I'm in town.

They stay open until May 22. Sometimes the conditions aren't great to the end, but there's always snow.

We went skiing a couple weeks ago. I learned, I'm not that fit. But fit enough to do at least a little of the things I enjoy So, I'm grateful for my health.

Yup, that's snow OK...too late for it though in my book. In Mid March though the big resort in WVA has snow in Mid March. I have been there before for that. It can be very warm during the day though..snow on the ground and like 70 degrees.

No, not usually more than a little above freezing for the high.
