Here in Maine I've had several occasions of major snow storms in the first week of April. I'm hoping for a lighter snow year so we can get into the forest earlier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #6 Posted February 2, 2019 East central WI—April 15th, 2018: Definitely hoping for an earlier spring this year! That wasn’t fun at all. A week later everything had melted and made everything a soggy mess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,022 #8 Posted February 2, 2019 I'm afraid all the Whistle Pigs here in SC Pa. make a hasty retreat back to their burrows for 6 more weeks. The bright sun on the snow is also playing havoc with my cataracts and keeping this rodent in the dark. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,642 #9 Posted February 2, 2019 Ground hogs are not normally around this area, but I saw one a couple of months ago in my back yard. He was headed SOUTH, I 'm not sure what that tells you. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
