Spring - or not...
« on: March 23, 2015, 10:56:12 AM »

A week ago, we were sniffing 70 degrees for a couple of days.  And had a steady string of 60 degree days...  Still lots of salt and sand on the roads so we were hoping for a couple days of steady rain..


Today - 24 degrees, 6 inches of heavy, wet snow on the ground and still coming down... Snow plows and salt/sand trucks have been thru a couple times so far and I'm sure they'll be back...

Mid 80s again this week and 4th year of major drought.  We'll trade you some of this sun and hot temps for some of that rain and snow.

Mid 70s in the day, low 60s at night, a little drizzle here and there, 'most everything is blooming, the Hummingbirds and Butterflies are taking over...

They might not since they already spent all the money they budgeted for snow removal..heck they ran out of funds a few storms ago.

Bummer I am 1 state west of you no snow. I have had the bike out 3 or 4 times already. Temps in the 40's today. Glad we didn't get any of that slop. Back in the 60's by Monday  :2vrolijk_21:

Yeah, it came down from the northwest...  South Dakota/Minnesota/Wisconsin then dumped on us.  Chicago ended up with just under 7" of the white slop...
