Man oh Man It never seems to quit snowing here. Looks like we are going to get hit again up to a foot of more snow again.
Hell last year this time we had all the crops planted and people were going gang busters out in the yards boating ect.

Wow what a old time winter we have this year.

Yeah ... this global warming is freezing our butts off. Snow and low thirties predicted for the next several days here.

Yeh, my snowthrower lost a shear pin about a month ago, right after the last storm.
Forecast looked nice, spring was coming, SO I didn't bother to go get a replacement... EPIC FAIL!!!

I got to shovel my way to the street then drive to the hardware shop to replace it yesterday morning; all the while I knew that the wife was waiting to get about her day (with a wisp of "I didn't tell you so, but you know better!" on her face).

Plenty of snow here the last few days. About 8" total, a little more expected is what the weather guessers are saying. My planned 20 minutes of snow removal turned into an hour and a half ordeal after I broke a hydraulic hose on my tractor when I was 15 minutes into the operation. Now I'm ready for more snow.

We need to buy more SUV's and build more coal fired power plants, as this global warming just isn't cutting it. It makes it hard for them, to push this agenda, when the truth keeps coming back to bite them.

9" of snow yesterday...wet and heavy...my ATV didn't like pushing it.
AND.......I ended up pushing about as much sod as I did snow :(

Last week I planted some seeds in the garden...all cold weather stuff.
Beet, cabbage, spinach, radish, peas...and such...I hope it gets a little warmer soon.

Yep, 14 inches here at my house as well. We're having a mighty nice winter this spring. I think we've had more snow in March and April than the rest of the winter put together. Gotta love global warming

While we have not had a frigid weather, it has for sure been a lot cooler that normal for a lot longer. This time last year we were up in the 90s. So far we have yet to break 80 and still gets in the 50s at night. We were warned that you could tell global warming was getting worse by having cold weather later than normal. Once he gets gun violence fixed and illegal immigration made right, our president is going to start work on stopping global warming.

Yeah, terrible isn't it.....only hit 91 here today and the pool is only 88 degrees......will winter never end........

Sorry all but having lived in the PNW for years and putting with cold, snow and rain.....did I mention rain?.........I was indeed talking tongue in cheek........It's a pain (or so I've been told) to get up before sunrise to be able to shoot before it gets to hot.........

it was super nice here today.
about 45 and only a 5-7 mph wind.
we had 3"s of snow earlier this week and keep getting little storms coming through.
seems like 2 day's of snow/sleet/hail/rain, then one of sun.
I need to go see if the lake is remotely thawed out yet.

12 inches last Monday suppose to get 8-12 more this weekend an we are trying to put a roof on my sons new house. It is a lot of work to shovel the house out every time it snows.

Got up to about 52 round here today, light wind, not too bad of a day. Wind is picking up, temp down to 40 now and snow predicted for tonight thru tomorrow night. We had THUNDERSTORMS!! on wed. evening. I tell ya it rained like sabre-tooth tigers and St. Bernards. I got all my hay ground fertilized last week in the sunshine and mid 50's. I believe the coming snow will help settle it in real good. JW

Even as old as I feel sometimes, I would much rather have snow and cold all year , than have hot weather

Hot weather for me is above 70!!!!

Turkey season starts here Monday and it's supposed to get down to 30 degrees tonight. Spring turkey season is supposed to be shirt sleeve weather. At least the ticks won't be too bad. I hope the turkeys libido isn't affected by the cold.

90% here today. It is great to have all this sunshine but there is a downside. We have no place to shoot are beautiful rifles and we have Dianne, Barbara and Nancy to speak for us. Don't cry for us though. They are putting a show together that's coming to your town.

It sleeted/snowed yesterday. Last night we got another couple inches. This morning, more giant flakes coming down hard. We got our first snow this winter during the first week of November, so that makes 5 solid months of snow.

My Gramps always told me you are going to get so much winter every year and it doesn't matter if it comes in January or June. Here we had nice weather all the way to the end of November and nice warm days in January and now we are paying the bill. Yesterday the schools were closed and we had 2" of ice and 6 inches of snow. We are coming up on the Spring Rondevous for the M/L Club so I expect those days will be either snow or cold and rainy too.

I have to agree. I can always wear warmer cloths, but can only get so nekkid. lol

The older I get, the warmer I like it. The whole state of North Dakota is under a Winter storm watch for the next couple days. 8-12 inches again.

We were going to do a range cleanup this week end but to much mud from the last storm and now again.:cry:

8-10 inches this morning and it isn't done yet.

I was posted in some hot places - interior of Oman can hit 120F in the shade midsummer, and Lafayette LA is a humid, nasty place in august for us northern types.

I really would rather be cold in january than swimming in my own sweat come August. Too much heat just doesn't agree with me. Nordic blood I guess.

But I am ready for the snow to stop any time now.

We got lucky, only four inches of snow last night and it's back in the high 40s today.

I'm just glad I got a good sized woodpile left.

We had about 3 days of wood left, so I went out and got cut up a couple of downed trees, got them split, and loaded in the boiler room, in between snow flurries this morning. This winter needs to end.

Old Man Winter is just a memory on my little spot on the prairie. Mowed my 2 acre place last weekend and mowed my neighbor's today, got a bit of a sunburn on my hands. Glad I suffered thru the longsleeve shirt. Got into the 80's today. All but the okra is up in the garden. Spring is coming, I'll call Al Gore and tell him to get his global warming off your streets & sidewalks. Hope this helps.

We had snow here in the morning again. My wife has been going nuts, the city garden walk is scheduled to go through our yard the end of June. This is taking away from my shooting time, LOL. I hope we see some spring temps soon.

Hows the ice fishin and snow mobilin down there in florida?:-P Had a slight breeze come through yesterday 60mph.Went to feed the horses and had a trampoline up against the hay stack.Truth be told ill take the cold you folks can have the hurricanes and tornados:smile:

Down here is SETX, our attitude is just the opposite--"Will summer never end?" Our winters are generally mild with extreme lows being in the 20's and not unusual for it to hit 80 in Dec/Jan/Feb. We are on the coast so that SW flow moderates everything a bunch. Still, with the humidity and wind, 40 can feel like 20 or lower sometimes. Very rarely do we have 4 seasons, just 3. Warm, hot and hotter. I know that the Floridians have it worse than us, just what you are accustomed to, I guess. Me, I won't complain--me and that white stuff just don't jive. I've driven in snow and ice--I'll take mosquitos, hurricanes, humidity and heat.
