Spring Break

It felt more like Christmas break than Spring Break. What is going on with this weather? I was studying on the fourth floor of the library and a big snowstorm blew through as I watched two giraffes in the zoo walk by,pretty crazy! The week consisted of watching the snow fall,mailing a bunch of packages,taking my shoes to the "shoeguy"and studying chemistry.
My friend Alan and myself did however manage to flyfish the South Fork of the Boise river. It was a pretty nice day in Boise but the South Fork is north of Mountain Home and it's elevation is almost 5000ft. It was 35 degrees when we got there and the wind was howling. We try to tell ourselves it's great to be outside and not in class but it didn't quite feel the same. We did manage to catch 4 to 5 each but the cold weather and wind made us cut the trip short to drink coffee and smoke cigars. Overall not a bad week of having some time off.

  2. This spring break was weird. I have been here my entire life and have not seen any weather like that this time of the year. I work outside and the wind did not help.

  3. Definitely felt like christmas...what a nutty snow storm we had the other day. At one point it was raining extremely hard, then hailing, then snowing just as hard. It went by way to fast too right!Summer needs to hit quickly so we can all enjoy some sun.
