Another Otsego County springlike feature is what happens to the roads. This is what Sibley Gulf Road looked like yesterday. It is difficult to believe that the innocent, small stream of water there on the left managed to take out an entire road swath. Just another springlike condition.
We call this Springlike Conditions. This has been a family joke for nearly 30 years. In the beginning, when we were taking our kids up to Lapland to XC ski, there was always a message board outside the ski hut. The owner at that time was Olavi Hirvonen, former US Olympic skier. And when it got to be late winter / early spring, he would always write, in big letters SPRINGLIKE CONDITIONS!!! At it really is true. There is a springlike smell in the air. Birds are chirping. Geese fly over. Springlike.
