Anybody want some snow?  Our front door is blocked with about 3 feet worth.  We can't use that door.  AND, it's still coming.  I'm getting a little tired of this stuff.

I'm in California and it was 95

I'm in San Diego, California and it was 93 C. on our patio today.  Don't want your snow, but a cool breeze would be nice.

Renalwife, I certainly hope it wasn't 93 C in San Diego. 100C is the temperature water boils at! I'm assuming you meant 93F?

Here in the Washington DC area it feels like spring is here, expect for the 30-40* weather coming up mid week.  Today its as high as 67*!

Cross posting this from the "new to the group" thread - My wife and I did a short seven mile group ride for Pie day yesterday (it was delayed a day due to rain) and ate a ton of pie at the four pie stations.  The chocolate caramel pie was the hit, but everything was good, multiple apple pies, coconut pie, chees pie, winter berry etc... (We split pieces but we were still too full to nap afterwards.)  Spring was peaking out and it was comfortable in the sun. 

Yet again I felt very thankful that with dialysis as my only current issue I've not yet been required to give up my actives - beyond those we gave up on M, W, and F when I'm in dialysis in the evening...

Beautiful weekend here in Chicago.  The snow has finally almost fully melted except for the parking lot mountains which should be gone by EOD today.  Husband ran his first 5K of the 2015 season.  I just enjoyed having the windows open and not wearing a jacket while running errands. 

75 is the projected high today .... tomorrow it will be 47.  That's the joy of living in Chicago...if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute.   :rofl;

I guess that the Maritime provinces did something to tick off the weather gods this year.  I'm hoping this snow melts away by at least June

If it makes you feel better there is a place in the Adirondacks called the tug hill plateau which has had 21 feet of snow this winter.  Strangely mostly lake effect snow.  Every one hears about Buffaloe but the tug hill area makes Buffaloe seem like a tropical paradise.

Yeah, could you have it shipped to California? The Sierra snowpack could use a boost.

Personally, I would be happy to defer Spring for a little rain. Yesterday, we enjoyed some fine beach weather at a beach not known for its beach weather--usually freezing cold in the middle of summer. It was fun, of course, but also kind of scary.

Yesterday and today here in mid-Missouri the temp has been trying hard to hit 80.  Very close, 79.

The snow is gone, only a little light rain almost a week ago, so all the leaves I didn't get to last Fall are dry enough I started lanscaping with my lighter along the ditches where leaves accumulate so much.  I don't rake.  Light them off and stand back.  Of course there was only the gentlest of breeses so the woods next door was safe.

Another day or two and I will get my mower out with the vacuum and clear the leaves from the front acre, then the side.  The grass is already beginning to turn green.  It isn't high enough to cut, so it will be mostly all leaves.  I layer the garden a few inches.  When the clay begins to dry out enough I'll take the mower deck off and put the tiller on.  Stir those leaves in as I till the soil.  It provides a lot of nateral fertilizer for the next year, maybe more.  And it feeds the worms well.  Souldn't be any problem growing 35 lb melons again this year.

A Pie Day sounds wonderful!!!!  Nothing like that happens here.  We lead pretty boring lives here in the middle of now-where.

I saw a graph today that says we've gotten 460cms of snow this winter.. that's about 15ft.. and that's all since about the 25th of January.. we got 50cms on Sunday alone.. that's a little less than 2ft.. and it was blowing around, which makes it worse.. you shovel, and where you shoveled just fills back in again.. I have mobility issues, so my mom tries to clear the snow enough that I can get out, but it's not easy... plus, I'm heading into my 4th day without my "regeneration cycle" and I'm getting a little twitchy...

... Still waiting for a bit of sunshine and for the weather to become a bit milder ...
... and still dressed when outside in my warmest winter coat and a huge shawl
and wearing my gloves and my warmest Babushka-hat...
I do hope that spring arrives soon...

From my prior post I told you how beautiful it has been for the last three days here in Mid-Missouri,  Well, that's over.  High of 50 today and windy enough it felt a LOT colder, cutting through me and chilling me to the bone!

Come on Spring, PLEASE!!!

Could Spring be a Blonde?   Just lost, or maybe no one remembered to send her a calender for this year!

I have an extra, someone PM me Spring's address I'll FedEx it to her so she can have it tomorrow!

She must not have gotten this years calender, yet.  Find her address for me and I'll send her one.

Del, one of the nurses in D today said that she thinks we should declare the Atlantic provinces inhabitable and we all move.  At this point, it doesn't seem like that bad an idea

We put our clocks back a couple of weeks ago.. *G*  There's still about 10 feet of snow on our front lawn... some of the roads look like canyons, and they are one lane only.. it's crazy... I saw a pic on facebook the other day... said that there was a polar shift, and the Maritimes were now the new North Pole... I'm starting to wonder if that isn't true...

What part of the world are you in?  Is everyone worried about flooding when the snow melts?
