    Would you believe me if I told you it is going to snow in Texas this evening and tomorrow?

    Four inches of snow this morning in central New Mexico, but it's all melted now. Ted, if your temperatures have been near 60 this weekend, what snow you get will be gone quickly.

    We got 6" in good ol' Denver, Colorado yesterday. Today, it's about 45 degrees and the snow is melting faster than it came down.
    It's getting on towards Autumn, (Fall... for those of you in the cheap seats, lol in Australia, which is where most of my flight simming takes place. I took my trusty RealAir Spit for a romp from Cairns to Townsville... clear skies, albeit a bit windy.

    No snow here in Delaware. 81 here at the house this afternoon and not a cloud in the sky. A most gorgeous day. :d

    I did see one of the first Great Blue Herons to return today too..... time to cover the Koi pond.

    It was over 70 this afternoon. So, we saddled up the horses for the first ride of the year. And I could sure tell that my mare Ruby has had too much time off and we've now got a laundry list of things to work on. But I'm tickled that I stayed on for her crazyness. It was bad enough that when I got off at the halfway point to stretch my legs, I seriously thought about walking her back to the barn, but figured if I did, I wouldn't want to get back on later. So, I got back up there and she was better behaved on the way back home.

    Supposed to cool off and rain tonight. Winter's last hurrah.

    It is in the 40's here with a light breeze and lots of sunshine. My wife and I walked around Lakes Hood and Spenard to enjoy it. A lot of people were out flying. We watched a number of take-off and landings on both the dirt strip and the (frozen) lake. It is great fun.

    sunny and 70s in Seattle area, blossoms on all the flowering plums and cherry trees, and the tulip trees in full bloom as well. rain tomorrow, so back to reality.

    Boy I remember those spring icestorms in NC. Cant say I miss them. But the Piedmont in flower is exceptionally pretty.

    You bet I would, especially considering it laid three inches in my yard last night!

    Fortunately, the warm temps today melted almost all of it.

    That is one thing I have really enjoyed this winter. We have had three snow storms and the longest any of them stayed on the ground was around 3 days. This one has already started but it's not really accumulating and prolly gone by tomorrow noon. This has been a very cool winter and now spring for us thus far and I'm not complaining summer is always a ...well you know!

    we had flurries today for about 10 minutes but i think it was a high altitude storm or something because it didn't feel that cold down on the ground. i finally fixed the flat on my bike today. no more walking to 2 different grocery stores. now i can pull the trailer behind the bike. saves alot of time, and pain in the ankle

    BOO-HOO, move to Buffalo NY if you think your winters are bad, discover what real misery is!! The ice is finally off the pond but the snow banks are still here.

    I spent the first day of spring up to my neck in cleaning supplies.....the living room is spotless and looks great! One room down, 4 to go!

    The Greater Blue Heron that frequents our pond has been around for a couple weeks now, the Geese returned a few days ago, Friday Deb and I heard the Spring Peepers (little frogs) in a marsh down the road from us...so it won't be long before our marsh is filled with their songs, the Red Wing Black Birds have been back for a couple weeks, Robins are here, was just outside and saw birds gathering nest building materials.

    Yep...Spring is here!
