<font color=blue>I wonder when Spring will start!</font color=blue> /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
About 1 day after it gets to Southeastern Michigan. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
No snow, but it might as well be. Wind and cold enough to freeze your ------- off. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Good day to stay in and watch the <font color=red>Red Wings </font color=red>win a hockey game.

Yep, we had literally an inch of the stuff here this morning... had to do a double-take when I looked out the window. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

It's been a weird spring everywhere. Here in the Pacific NW we had a frost a couple days ago (last frost usually in late March) and Chinook Pass (elevation 5400) is usually open by this time of year. Right now, it's buried in 25 FEET of snow! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif They hope to have it opened by mid June if it doesn't snow anymore.

I have bad news for anyone waiting for summer. Summer this year was April 16 - April 19. We are back into late Autumn now.

We had four days in April with temperatures in the high 80's - low 90's. I knew it was too good to last.

I got up at 6am this morning and noticed everything looked white outside so I put on my glasses to get a better look....I should have just stayed in bed.

Today was the day we were scheduled to work on the playground at the daycare center so I wasn't really thrilled with the snow. We were putting pea stones under all the equipment and edging to contain the stones. We got all the edging in put I had to give up on moving the stone because I was starting to turn the grass into a gooey mess. I thought I would need to wait for it to dry out to finish moving the stones but now I'm thinking I'll just wait for the ground to freeze again /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

here also thomas! rain, mixed with snow. cold , clouds . never gets a chance to dry up, have grass that has not been cut yet, and lods of dirt that need to be moved. can;t do a damm thing. very depressing!! have not seen a spring like this in many years. farmers cannot get crops in the ground, sweet corn is going to be very late, and the strawberries are going to rot . and my tractor is going to rust away before i can use it. I NEED SUNSHINE!!!

It is supposed to freeze tonight in our area. The Blackberries are in full bloom. The old timers would say, that every year when the blackberries are in bloom, we will have a cold snap. They called this cold snap, "Blackberry Winter". I have noticed through the years, of corresponding cold spells when the berry bushes bloom. Maybe its just coincidence or maybe there is something to this old legend.
