The weather has been my main topic since the summer when it
was so hot and dry we had 60 days over 90 and a drought. The
opposite has been happening to us since. Now since late Nov. we have
had below nomal cold weather and too much precipitation with more snow than my
friends in Colorado and Wisconsin and parts of Alaska. I would think
everyone has heard about all the snow the east got last week and upon that rain
this past weekend and it has wrecked havoc. We still have at least a foot
of snow on the ground with the ground saturated and the weatherman calling for
more. Hay is at a premium and life for those that work outside is
survival. How will all this affect Endurance? Already the SASO
has been cancelled due to weather conditions on the west coast. The OD has
sent out a request for Trails assistance and there will be more cancellations
and trail work as this years weather has been the worst seen in many, many
years. It would be nice to hibernate til its Spring and the
birds are singing and the grass is green and the flowers bloom, but i'm stuck
with vehicles in snow and mud and a mile long road that has 1 foot
crevices from the creeks that have been flowing down it lately. The
weather? Don't ask me cause i'll call it a very big abnormal. tom
