All the lucky duckies got started on the 23rd here in Arkansas and we still got good water in the bigger drainages. Nothing big but a day on the river.

Me, I've been traveling. :(

Big snow melt, ice letting loose day yesterday. Dropping back to upper 20's-low 30's but we're planning for next weekend already.

GreyBear showed us how it is done in the Upper Hooch. Nice day mid 40s yesterday.

*Ice* belongs in a *glass*! We hit our local, Columbia, SC, run today, used pogies but didn't really need them - all that snow melt and rain up in the mountains (plus our own 4" of rain) made for a nice day.

I'm in CT for the holidays, and went boating two days ago. The creeks are still running. C1s outnumbered the kayaks, too, on Saturday!

Went skiing at Killington today though. Fun!

Most stuff up here in Maine is frozen up... But our 45 degree two day stretch made me think of getting out and looking for anything thawed enough to paddle... If only the dry suit wasn't busted. :-?

COOL I had no idea that many people could still get out.

Paddled Elora Gorge yesterday in southern Ontario. Lower levels, a bit cold, -7C with some wind, but ice free, except for the beautiful ice formations on the sides of the gorge. Fun couple hours.

Snow paddle on Passage Creek Saturday and upper Tye River on Sunday, both in the mountains of Virginia.

Oh, and if it makes you feel better, Louie, Saturday was two OC-1 to one K-1. Would have been three OC-1's 'cept for blood clots. Sunday was three OC-1's, a C-1, and two K-1's.

Snow on the mountains makes the water in the photos look especially blue and, ..., er, ... , refreshing!

Unfortunatly Missouri has a boating season and it runs from Oct/Nov through May/June give or take a few weeks. It just doesn't rain much here in the summer so most of our boating is done in the fall/winter/spring.

We had a lot of rain right before Christmas and had a lot of high water. We should still have water for New Years Day even without any more rain.

Oregon is year-round boating. Fall/winter/spring is the rainy season when we have the most runs to choose from, from mountain rivers to coastal ones.

There is a New Years Eve run on the Winnipesaukee River in Tilton NH on New Years Day. They do it every year. But I am staying home :lol: and watching it snow. It is suppose to snow pretty heavy there New Years Day :cry:
