If we could just experience that 12 day period one more time. This year sucks about as bad as can be but look how fortunate we've been over the last 10 years.

Yeah the past 10 years have been pretty good overall, though this year is a big ugly exception. Hopefully we get a real -NAO in the winter some time soon, because this current pattern is as hideous as it gets — the complete opposite of 10 years ago. But yeah those 12 days alone had almost as much snow as the entirety of winter 2002-03, which would've been unthinkable in the 00s to anyone except the craziest weenies.

Schaeffer is uber conservative with mud and closing. Which is smart because it's mountain bike heaven and very popular. One day with saturated soil and trails get rekt. Black hills has nice hills and rocky soil. I actually forgot about those trail. Now I want to get out there and ride. I like parking at the ten mile creek trailhead. Left hand trail is a lot of fun. Very well cut trail and some good ups and downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I only recently found out about it. This is only the 2nd time I’ve been. It’s flowy and I do remember some sections with small rocks. Different layout than Schaeffer. I parked by the lake (south) and rode all the up to clarksburg (about 6.3 miles) then back down the road bc I was cooked lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Well we had a 20 percent chance for rain and sleet tonight in Buda TX. The forecast was wrong. It snowed, HARD and fast. The temp dropped to 34 and the north wind blew those dendrites past the streetlights and I was out on a very happy jebwalk! I was blasting old school ELO songs in the midst of very large very wet snowflakes, savoring a trip down memory lane! It looked so much like Northern Virginia! But I was standing in South Austin, rubbing my eyes, pinching myself, kept on thinking I MUST be dreaming! It was 80 degrees yesterday with a 65 dewpoint! Now, it was snowing hard and even sticking to elevated surfaces! We ended up with about a quarter inch of snow on the grass and on many elevated surfaces like car tops, bushes, trash can lids. Crazy Texas weather can be amazing! I think Midland TX well to my west got 7 inches! This was a very happy trip down memory lane but it will probably be my last for a couple more years! Local snow climo is about three quarters of an inch in a winter. So tonights quarter inch snowfall equates to a major winter storm of 4-6 inches in N VA. I enjoyed it. There's snow out there right now on the wood patio! Might have to sneak out there at 3am local time and roll in it like old times in Dale City after a 2 foot HECS! LOL! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
