Weekly Times, Wednesday, April 7, 1982 ISeI 300) daffodil bouquets For those wbo ike it rough and rugged the weatberman is currently co-operating witb a. good dose of winter weatber when most are looking for- ward to spring-like balmy breezes. But the spring-like weatber was bere last week and corne Friday afternoon the urge was just too great to get out of the office ùito the great outdoors. That we did after setting up a date with our youngest grandaugbter, Mandy, who bad the afternoon off from kindergarten. She was sure she was up to a two to three mile ski so off we went to the forest and perfect sprinig ski- ing conditions. With some encouragement we completed at least two and a baîf miles and enjoyed the warmtb of the afternoon and corn-snow conditions. It made for an ideal outing and as well the opportunity to view some of the sigas of spring in the bush. Still there was a tang to the air and in most places still a couple of feet of packed snow on which to ski. By Sunday the weatherman had changed bis attack and provided a real winter day with howling winds and swirl- ing snow. During the night he bad as well covered the forest floor wth one to two inches of new snow. Travelling north out of Orono at 9 a.m. to pick up Sid Rutherford for the mnorn- ing outing of sking we were taken with the fact that we were about the only one on the bighway. In fact we met no more than three cars from Orono to Enterprise. With a couple of white-outs it was understandable but still there. was an eery feeling of being alone in a desvastated land. Not like Friday but rather a real winter outing right back to wbere we were in mid- winter. It has always been amnazing how one can leave Orono stripped of all snow to step into a winter wonderland in the forest. Th ere stîll could be a couple of weeks left for ski- ing and definitely somne spr- ing skiing yet to comne. Nothingexciting this week to report other than winter activities still prevail. METRIC We bear and read a lot about objection to the metric systemn of mneasuremnent. We were surprlsed to hear our oldest grandaugbter inform us that she was going to buy a litre of syrup from Mr. Downes, ber bus driver. It wasn't a gallon or a quart but a litre anid it was uttered with no besitation. An indication that the futu re generation wil be right at home with metric measure- ment and possibly an indica- tion that we have some cat- ching up to do to tbe younger set.
