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.
