Spring has not sprung

Did some easy local hikes this afternoon. First, went to Middleburgh and climbed Vromans Nose. Took the old carriage road to the top, then the blue marked hiking trail back down. About 1.5 miles.
Next, visited Christman Sanctuary. Did a short loop on the trail that follows along the creek and leads to the main falls. About 0.8 miles.
Lastly, went to Plotterkill Preserve. Followed the red trail all the way to the Rynex creek, with a short side-trip to the top of the lower falls. Then took the yellow marked Highland trail. Also, did a loop on the blue trail. About 2.5 miles altogether.
There is still quite a bit of snow left in the woods. Trails were a little icy - especially the steeper spots. It was nice that the sun made an appearance - though it was a breezy.
