Spring Has Sprung
Posted: Sat May 04, 2013 2:38 amJetranger posted in the Humour section due to his snow/18 degree sprintime environment; chin up -- I'm sure it will pass. Currently in NH there is a bit of snow on the tops of our mile-high plus hills -- but down below the grass is green and decidious trees should soon display their full adornment of leaves. Our daytime temperatures have still been a bit wobbly, ranging from the 40s to low 80s, but the coats are off. Unlike when I first posted here about my new job, as it was, when winter approached, the grounds here look much like in the px in the site post:
Now that Lake Winnipesaukee is ice free, the Mt. Washington (the lake's cruise ship) has set out on its trial run for the season to make sure everything is in proper operational order. I'm reminded, also, that in just over a month it will be bike week -- motorcycles everywhere -- with rallys and the main race next month. Although traffic still increases, one thing has changed for the better: bike week has simmered considerably since around the turn of the century it accumulated not dozens but hundreds of arrests, usually alcohol related. Summer will also bring NASCAR. So, it seems, winter has lost its hold here in New Hampshire...
No more slipping and sliding, no more freezing fingers...
Anyway, for those of you in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere that still have snow, I'm sure it won't last long (leastwise, not on the lower elevations)
