ITS OVER (winter that is)

[Pearl]

I ended up being off today because of a water line break in the neighborhood where I was going to work today, have to work Saturday instead! Anyhow, I'm outside doing all kinds of projects around the yard, it's beautiful outside!! FOUR flocks of geese have come over in the last 30min!! The bluebirds and roadrunners are hard at work making nests! EARLY SPRING!!

I was outside yesterday in a sweatshirt doing spring chores.
Woke up this morning to snow covered ground.

Spring??? What's that? Mother nature dumped over a foot of new snow in the last few hours and it's not letting up.

I can't wait to see the first few buds and green of spring. I always find it such a beautiful and positive time.

Snow is still between belly button/armpit deep here. I'm not complaining as I love it. But when spring makes its way up to Alaska in May, I will be ready for it!

I soooo hope you are right. I said earlier I think we have seen the worst of it. We are in the 50's and sunny right now. The weekend is supposed to be in the 70's.

Rebecca: I don't know if you get a vote. Where you are Summer is two weeks of bad skiing. (just teasing)

Me too, I went out yesterday hunting for little signs of spring in the forests and small plants. Bummer, it's not quite here yet.

I look for "yellow jasmine" to start blooming as the first real indicator. It fills the woods with splashes of yellow. (Its a small vine)

I always know we are getting into spring when the coltsfoot little yellow flowers show on the road side. I find them the most vibrant signal better weather is coming

We still have snow on the ground and the high today is 1°C. But it's kinda sunny. I'll take what I can get lol

 

[The Lazy L]

Wife has flowers that are starting to poke out of the ground. Winter will not be officially over until I take the snow plow off.

I saw the first sign of spring here...
With forecast highs solid 80's for the next week, Super finally took off his long-john bottoms today.

I will be sporting them for at least a month. Frost will be around until 18-Apr.

I did spot a robin in the garden today.

Around here, you don't plant till after Mothers day

Sunny today, with a light breeze. I saw a few flocks of Canada geese heading north(ish) during my morning walk with the dog.

Pity it was 25F with a couple feet of snow. It'll warm up soon enough. But March is hell-month for us. We never know what's gonna hit. It will be close to 70 Sunday, but there could be an ice storm two days later.

Same here.
We have barely started our snowiest month of the year. This is the month of the BIG snowstorms for us, the kind that make national news.

Same. According to the Farmer's Almanac our last frost is around June 11. How accurate are they? I've never used them as a reference. Anyone know?

Just keep them up there

Pi$$ing it off isn't a good idea.
ETA The seat is down.

Q
Would spider legs taste like crab legs? Just thinking...

Just take a leak and leave it alone

That's exactly what we do. If we plant sooner than Mother's Day it will freeze hard at least once.

 

[Tirediron]

not here, but folk lore says the beginning of June will be wet, been really foggy here for the last 3 days, of course the days we are hauling barley to the seed cleaning plant, folk lore says 90 days from fog to rain, and it has been pretty accurate when I bother to write it down.

 

[ifbbathena]

And we just got a snow/hail storm lol

winter hail , sleet , is an interesting phenomenon. My part of the world is a story book winter wonderland today, "Whore" frost on the trees and medium snow flakes wafting from the sky.

Never heard the term. I had to look it up. If you do look it up the way it's spelled above make sure you have safe search set to strict.

Wait until you hear it flush?
Look out for dozens of baby spiders riding on spider mom’s back.

 

[Pearl]

I kill spiders with wasp spray! Too many times I've smushed them only to have a barrage of babies scattering everywhere!!

I love how the thought police like to change things to fit their PC system, my spelling is the traditional meaning, The trees are all prettied up like a Whore,
