Spring is almost here...

[LizzieMaine]

Winter storm watch in effect for tonite -- 6 to 9 inches possible before it turns to sleet, ice, and rain. Happy Springtime!

They are saying 10-14 inches here... I think it may swing south and not hit us at all. Or one can hope.

Either way, likely the last snow of the season!

Same here, but then I'm not much farther north from you. Unfortunately I wouldn't bet that this will be the last snow of the season!

Damned Global Cooling!

That stinkaroos Lizzie!
It's 70 right now, with a low of 40.
Then spring temps will go away again and bring 50's for highs and 30's for lows.
It's these kinds of fluctuations that cause us Southerners to get sick.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Expecting 3-4" of snow tomorrow. We'll see...

I experienced all four seasons in one morning! It was almost 50 degrees, sun shinning, then it rained, then sleet, then the wind picked up to over 40mph, then snow. The funny thing, as I was driving, it was near white out conditions down on the road, yet the sun was shinning! Now, it is clear, no snow on the ground, it melted, but it is 27 degrees out side.

Didn't you have enough of that stuff?!

This is amazing; this year we missed having "all seasons" day. Great.

Chicago is 29* now under a blanket of heavy slush.

Yes snow is Evil.

They upped our expected totals to 14-18 inches (from 12-14). We've gotten 6 inches in the past 6 or 7 hours- it is coming down now like salt from a shaker.

Are they expecting that much in Toronto? I know Buffalo is getting hit pretty bad, so I imagine Toronto is too.

 

[Stray Cat]

What's wrong with everyone's weather?!
We're supposed to meet & greet Lady Spring, and not Mr. Frost. [huh]

Me, on the other hand..

..and I'm not joining in your "midwinter party" time.

Pull that Dandelion weed! Unless you are making Dandelion wine from the flowers.

Buffalo always gets hit worse than us. I think they broke their record for snowfall in a single day today. We got a lot but not as much as they did. We have at least 15cm...looks like more. Sure seemed like more when I was shovelling! Despite the snow the roads have already been plowed and are passable. They're a bit slippery but drivable. Meanwhile they expect it to be -20C tomorrow morning. Yesterday it was +10C. Ridiculous.

We're up to a little over a foot- maybe about 14 inches? We're under a "no unnecessary driving" ban until 8am. They say it will be done by mid-afternoon tomorrow- I guess it is still coming off the lake near us and will be for awhile. It's heavy- we've got several neighbors with downed trees. No lost power though. Our YMCA closed for the first time this year due to snow. The plows are going by every few hours and they staged the let out of the local hospitals and other major employers to avoid a rush hour disaster.

The news had a poor bus sliding backwards down a hill this evening. I used to be a frequent bus rider and those bus drivers can get through anything, so it is bad out there.

We're getting absolutely torrential rain at the moment -- which at least is melting off a lot of the old grimy snow. At least the mess we'll have to shovel tomorrow won't have had time to root itself to the ground.

it's supposed to be a nice sunny weekend in Ca in the low to mid 80's nice warm sunny weather

Pull that Dandelion weed!

It's done. :thumb:
(actually, all the weeds have been pulled out, the ground is almost all lifted and the grass seeds are ready to go in this weekend)

That's good.... right?

Oho! 26C is a summery temperature.
Your're bragging.
