Early March Powder Dump

My last post was titled "End of February Surf", and this one is "Early March Powder Dump" following weekend's massive snow storm up north.  Should be the other way around it seems, but once again life in the Great Lakes Region is, and will continue to be quite difficult to predict.  I am feeling pretty lucky about being in the right place at the right time lately.  I sent a pic to a friend this weekend showing a Jeep buried in snow and the sun shining brightly; his reply was, "It takes a master's degree in timing to be in the right spot around here."  Meteorology has become a second hobby of mine, it's an end to a means to be in the right spot at the right time.  But, I still think it has more to do with luck.  Sure you can give yourself a one up by studying some weather models, but in the end, if you don't go you'll never know.  I have for sure had my share of cruddy sessions, mushy brown waves, bullet proof groomers, and everything in between.  But, like another friend told me once, "every dog has his day."  So, I'll keep searching, and I know with a little homework, and a lot of optimism, we'll score again.  The transition of seasons gives us the opportunity to do all the water and snow sports in the same week.  Just another token of mother natures appreciation for the stoked.
