We have one for our subdivision. Last year it was refreshing until early July, then it was bath water warm and we stopped going. One of the "things" to do here is tubing down the Saluda River, which gets its flow from the bottom of Lake Murray. At least that water is cold!

...for Old Man Winter? Has he packed up his things and gone?
This past week has been crazy warm around here. I swapped out the studded tires for touring ones. Not quite slicks yet, but soon. Ditched the thick fleece and mittens. Sooooo nice, and quiet.
I'm calling it a winter, right here and now.

Maine is one of the few east coast locales that has had good snow cover--but melting fast! Downhill skiing yesterday in t-shirt and near 50 again today. Roads totally suck for riding though, no room, trashed asphalt/holes, large melting snow banks/black ice, sand and salt everywhere. Yep feels like spring!

it's surreal, but we haven't had real winter in chicago since christmas.
january and february have been a freaking CAKE WALK, with no appreciable snowfall at all.
i've only ridden my studded tire winter bike a grand total of 8 times so far this "winter" (all of them in december).
and the long term forecast looks like real winter won't be coming back anytime soon this year.
then again, it's always wise to be weary of that lousy smarch weather.

Anndddd the winner is.....you! :-) The closest flakes to the Twin Cities seems to be 12 miles outside the SE 494/696 loop. We have green grass in the yard. I may go out this weekend and see if there are dandelions to dig, just so I can say I did that in February.
