Caching and snow
By: Griff Grof Date: January 16, 2015, 1:02 pm

So.... It's meant to snow tonight, as well as several times over
the weekend, most notably on Sunday.
Have you ever cached in the snow, and if so would you do so
again - or do you think it's best to not bother and wait for
better weather?

It is vastly more difficult to find caches at ground level,
having done some caching in the snow.
I would just go for a lovely walk unless you are doing TWW,
which I shall want to do in the next few days for my 6000th find
:)
L8HNB - get the kettle ready ;)

Think I will do TWW this weekend if the weather is too bad to do
a series :)

I have cached in the snow, and failed. But as this particular
log

/>of mine shows my failing is more down to me than the snow :D
As [member=3]walktall[/member] has said, just enjoy a lovely
walk :) A few years back we had about a foot of snow around
Ciren which put the town at standstill for a few hours, so went
out for a walk with Roxy up past the Ag college. There is a this
bit of path along the busy Tetbury road we have to walk along
before we get into the green and that is usually horrible to
walk with all the cars zooming by, but we had the whole road to
ourselves that morning, it was great! ;D
Have you snow today? We've had a sprinkle (see photo attached).
If you don't fancy a walk, and just have a little snow, you
could always go outside just for a little bit and make some
funny snow creations and take some photos to share. Here's one
snapped in Swindon a few years back that made me chuckle (see
photo attached).

Just a dusting of snow this morning, wouldn't be enough to stop
caching :)

Just a dusting here too.
They've removed the snow from the forecast (let's hope this
isn't tempting fate :D) so may have a go at a not too long
local series before/after TWW :)

Well, I've just found two caches this morning, so my next cache,
which will be tomorrow, will be TWW :)

Well done @walktall :)
Well, we may bump into each other then :D Haven't decided if
we'll visit in the morning or in the afternoon after the series
we have planned - will confirm later tonight
[member=62]L8HNB[/member] - if one time is better than the
other for you then please say :)

I do enjoy geocaching in the snow, below is a log containing
photos of a visit to a 2001 placed cache back in January 2013,
no snow at the parking level, but things got much whiter on my
ascent...

No snow here, forecast for this area is ok, bit like today -
sunny but cold and <5% chance of precipitation...
We will be in most of the day but will need to pop out at some
time for our daily cache, probably after lunch.
You can park on our drive which is a few yards along the road
from the co-ords you have, if coming from the south (Defford) I
expect you will come to the bungalow on the LH side before you
get there. If we're not in there is parking near the co-ords.
