Winter Patrol 2025/2026
Summary of Patrol #7 and #8
These two patrols were done in the month of February. And yes, February remained an interesting month when it came to weather.
At the time of writing this Post, it appears that spring has suddenly appeared (15 Celcius) and perhaps the major snow drifts will be disappearing sooner than later.
Here’s hoping 🙂
